Reception staff were so helpful and welcoming. The location is great. Bed comfortable.

Our twin room look onto a rubbish filled skip (117)I wasn’t expecting a view but should have been warned how underwhelming the room location was going to be. It felt very dingy on this floor. I also wish hotels would stop putting dirty ratty cushions and throws on clean bedding. The throw was particularly grim.
Perfect location, nice and spacious room
