Piotr United Kingdom

Great place , loved the balcony over looking the canal, staff really relaxed . It's in a bustling area so there is some noise at night but we were there to have fun so throughly enjoyed it and added to the sense of excitment. Great black out blinds and really comfy bed so there was no problem sleeping. The Bang and Olufsen stereo and minibar included in the room was a nice surprise . Will definitly be staying again . Thxs

David United Kingdom

I never write reviews but this hotel is very special. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left this hotel did not let us down. The staff are all just perfect. Lovely, friendly people. We had the most amazing time. Room was clean, as warm or cool as you wanted at the touch of a button. Bathroom was superb. So luxurious, Molton brown products everywhere. Complete comfort from start to finish. I will 100000% return to this hotel and will be bringing friends next time. Great location near the train station. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

Conor United Kingdom

Warm welcome from reception staff. Other staff in the hotel were just as accommodating so clearly everyone wants to please. So any bad reviews must come from people who expect to be waited on hand and foot

Colin United Kingdom

The hotel and the room was exquisite, the staff are friendly and helpful and the lo action is second to none, will definitely be back. The only small complaint I'd have would be the pillows were a little hard for my comfort but that is a personal preference. Highly recommended
