This is the second time we've stayed here and loved it just as much as the first time. Love the tudor vibe that's carried out across the rooms and the restaurant as well. Very fun. The 2 bedroom unit is fantastic, tv in every room as well as warm and spacious. The onsite restaurant is very handy and food was yummy. We will definitely stay here again next time! Thanks

We were given a one bed room apartment. It was great. They provided a baby cot and that made life easier for us. The toilet was by far the only one with a heated flooring so going to the toilet was not a chore. Loved the architecture and deco of the place. Free tea in the afternoon. That was a nice touch. Mall walking distance from the hotel. We stayed only for a night and it was a great night.

This hotel was really convenient, the transport links were close and frequent, there was plenty of places to eat nearby as well as the hotel restaurant and breakfast was lovely too. There was a single washer/dryer and thankfully not too busy. The rooms were lovely and spacious and really clean.
