Lovely, spacious room with a great view of the river. Unfortunately the room was ridiculously warm, even with air con on as low as it would go. Mould in the shower, and the carpet didnt seem to hsvr been vacuumed properly.

Not good service by Receptionist on arrival. She seemed pleasant enough but was ‘snarky’ and smug. Room cold and heating controlled by hotel. Lift not level on occasion and our concern dismissed. Another receptionist refused to freeze our cooler pack ice block saying not allowed whereas waiter said it was fine. Very limited menu. Fab view from our room and we would only return because of that.

I was happy with most things. The only complaint i would have is that there was a distinct smell of feces coming from the toilet. I thought someone might have just been to the toilet before i got to my room. However, i went out for dinner and when i came back to my room the smell was still there.
