Pleasantly surprised at how nice this property was. It would have definitely got 5 stars apart from the renovation to the lift. This didn't detract and would book again.

Lovely hotel, all the staff we interacted with were very friendly, cheerful and helpful staff during our stay. Metro close by, quite of a few bars, cafes and places to eat.
Only thing to note was there isn't a great deal of parking spaces at the back of the hotel but there is one close by if needed.

Breakfast was very good.
The hotel and room in general felt a little tired though it was clean.
The staff were very professional and helpful.
The surrounding area was very noisy with a student party taking place in a house opposite our room window.
