Staff absolutely brilliant - enabled an early check in to let me leave bags in room before a concert. Room great - cracking view but maybe a little more detailed cleaning needed eg door to bathroom and skirting in room. But comfortable bed. Great location. Good value.

We were only there for one night but loved the location . There were lots of restaurants within walking distance for dinner . The hotel was clean , the staff both cordial and helpful and the breakfast was bountiful . The spaces for the breakfast and the bar were upscale and nicely decorated . I think this hotel would work for families , couples and solo travelers . I would stay here again .
