6/10 Good

Overall pretty clean. It potentially needed a deeper clean especially in the bathroom. The toilet was in a very inconvenient position. It felt very understaffed so special requests were missed on arrival and staff weren’t always available for myself and other guests, however they were helpful and attentive when they were available. Breakfast was standard and as expected. We didn’t use the bar or room service. The bed was comfortable and bigger than expected.

2/10 Poor

Shortly after check in. An unknown male was lingering in my corridor and attempted to force entry to my room. I immediately informed the reception of this scary situation. Who said they would try to send someone to assist. No one came, called me back or knocked on my room to reassure me. Awful.

We booked to use the gym then found out it was not open as it was being refurbished. The air con/heating was so noisy it kept us throughout the night. However, it was warm and the room was smart with a nice hot shower. The location is great but no nice view from our particular roo .
