Love this centrally located hotel. Very trendy vibe. However, it is very dark from a lighting and decor point of view so it’s not to everyone’s taste. Lovely appointed bedrooms.

Arrived very early in the morning and the hotel stored our luggage as we wouldn't be back until after 10.30pm. Bags were in our room waiting when we got back. Friendly check in staff and concierge. beds are the best hotel beds I've slept in. Will definitely be back.

Overpriced and basic

We had an amazing weekend and the location is amazing, however for the cost compared to other hotels I wasn’t overly amazed, and I feel I have stopped in nicer hotels with more to offer in the rooms, such at tea coffee selection, there was no mini fridge in the room and honestly it was very basic.
