The bedroom exceeded expectations. Very comfy and quiet. Visited the science museum nearby, which was the reason for staying at Burr. The hotel was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately too tired to try the pool.

Best breakfast ever + comfy bed.

We had a lovely stay - staff were friendly, room was gorgeous with a super comfy bed and great water pressure in the shower. Also loved the Rituals cosmetics in the bathroom. Food from the bar was delicious and incredibly good value for money - just be mindful the 'formal restaurant' is only open on some evenings. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding - best I've ever had in a hotel I think. Swimming pool, steam room and sauna were lovely to use in the morning before leaving.

Os funcionarios da recepção foram maravilhosos, mas a manager do restaurante foi muito rude quando pedimos uma mesa mais aconchegante. Não voltaria lá. Mas definivamente recomendo o hotel, foi tudo perfeito, todos os funcionarios foram muito atenciosos e educados
