"This was a beautiful hotel in a good location. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of options, The pool on the roof was lovely at sunset as well as the roof deck café. Suggestion: it would’ve been helpful to have hooks in the bathroom for towels and hanging up a bathing suit."

8/10 Good
"We booked our stay months in advance of our trip. Yet when we arrived at 11pm at night (my wife, I, 2 children and the Mother In Law we were told the room wasn’t ready(?!) and they would have to put another bed in a different room so we could all fit in. That led to a half hour delay (not welcome at that time of night with young children) and worse still we would have to move rooms the next day…hotel is good for a city centre location, but that really poor start left a bad taste in the mouth…."
