"Hotel itself was nice and clean. Room was modern and well equipped. Only downside was the pillows. Not supportive and uncomfortable. Also, expect a lot of the noise from the street. Being so close to the hospital means regular ambulances at all hours."

"The toiletries are in bottles bolted to the wall away from the taps. So I found it a little inconvenient to have to step up to pump out the body wash which came out in small squirts ;)"
