This property is gorgeous and the room and bathroom were updated and clean. David at the front desk was very professional and hospitable and helped with my baggage. The bar area was fun and they made great drinks. This is located right by the metro so made it easy to get around town. I’ll definitely be back!

First time, I stayed at this hotel. I arrived at hotel early morning. But , they really took care of me very well even though I had 15 hrs flight and felt very comfortable. Also, breakfast (Buffet style) was also very enough and restaurant staff was so speedy to responded my request. I will choost to stay next trip.

Good location, clean hotel. However, we were in rm 29 and the air conditioner was incredibly noisy and would not suit anyone easily kept awake. At breakfast, the whole hotel descended for breakfast at the same time. Most items ran out, fo £15 all I got was some scrambled egg and a piece of toast!
