Johnmartin

United Kingdom

“Hotel is in a very good location in the city center, our room and bathroom was huge and very comfortable. All the floors are full of art pictures on the walls and in the entrance there are also some art objects for sale. Hotel management is very careful with all the details, even the carpets in the elevators are changed every day, it says "welcome [day name]" on them.”
