Cleaning needs improvement
The room wasn't particularly clean unfortunately. Service was good but not up to the cleanliness standard I would expect from a lower star hotel.

Nice hotel but noisy
Lovely hotel, clean. Reception staff were lovely. Bar staff were great. The room was really nice. Bathroom a bit dated and no toiletries apart from the big bottles of hand wash, shower gel and shampoo that were attached to the wall. No conditioner for my hair or shower cap etc. I'm sure that they would have provided these items if I had asked but luckily I had them with me in my travel bag so didn't need to. No milk provided for coffee in the morning but we were bought some when we called reception. We knew from the reviews that the room could be noisy but we were not expecting it to be so loud - so much outside noise! Not much can be done as the windows are already secondary glazed. But the noise from the cleaning staff in the mornings was not good. We were woken both mornings before 7am by the cleaners chatting and clattering around in the corridors. We did mention this upon checkout and we were given our drinks from the mini bar (2 x cokes) for free.

Lovely hotel- but quite noisy at nights!
Really lovely hotel- very stylish and modern. The bathroom in particular felt really luxurious. I would say though that the hotel is pretty noisy at night - I could hear music until the early hours- even though my hotel was at the back. They also don’t really offer much in the way of breakfast- just pastries (which they can bring up to your room)- so possibly not the best choice for a business hotel
