Wayne

I understand that they don’t include breakfast but it would have been nice to be told upon check in that a breakfast box would be left outside our room at such a time. We didn’t know until we left to check out ..

Julie

The room was comfortable and nicely furnished. Complimentary breakfast was nicely presented and was OK !

Sara

United Kingdom

The hotel is in an excellent location and the room was beautiful and spotless! We ate at the restaurant for dinner, which was also really good. Staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast box in the morning is a lovely touch.

Anna

United Kingdom

Loved the location on Canal Street, nice bars nearby and close to everything we needed. The room we ended up in was lovely and stylish, with a gorgeous well stocked minibar and a wonderful big bed. A pack up breakfast was left outside our room which was a lovely touch and more breakfast items were available at the reception as we checked out. Slight mix up with our booking but sorted very quickly. Super friendly staff who couldn't do enough to help us. Lovely little touches such as the L'Occitane toiletries, the water, biscuits and mints, and the breakfast left outside for us.

Taylor

United Kingdom

The hotel is unique and has a luxury feel but is easy going and in a great location. The rooms are always very clean and beautifully furnished. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help. There's lovely touches that we weren't expecting too.
