9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

The location is really good as it is easy walking distance to everything. The staff were very friendly in the interactions I had with them. The room was well furnished with enough space and storage. Although on check in I had a hairdryer that had bare wires and no plug - this was rectified on request. I was disappointed the restaurant only opens for breakfast (not lunch and dinner as advertised) and despite the bar being stocked, this does not open. I wouldn't return due to significant noise issues and the impact this had on my sleep. My biggest memory from the stay was the amount of noise I could hear in my room. Soundproofing is non existent so I could hear other guests in the corridor, staff cleaning in the morning, toilet flushing above me and extremely loud music from another venue late at night (despite being in an internal room with no windows).
