Great hotel in a good location. Decent breakfast, comfortable room although the TV had some lines across it and could do with replacing. Was watchable though, only there 1 night so didn't really affect my experience that much.

Wonderful breakfast buffet. Comfortable bed and spacious room. The only complaint is that noise from the street revellers was heard well into the early morning.

Great Hotel, clean rooms,lovely staff, great breakfast just down the road from Picadilly gardens. Only down side was we had a room at the front of the hotel, so all we heard up till 2-30 ish in the morning was the music and noise from a nearby venue, i assume the rooms at the rear were a bit quieter.
