Friendly, welcoming staff, great location and delicious food, but the corridor/staircase area could do with brighten
Pros:

Welcoming, friendly staff, great location, buzzing atmosphere and delicious food.

Cons:

The room was clean and comfortable, but the corridors/staircase area felt a bit dark and overall a little tired, and could do with a refresh to take it to a 10/10. The only other slight downside, if you wanted conversation, was the noise level in the restaurant in the evening, but it was busy and the food and service were excellent.

Would happily stay here again!
Pros:

Modern, clean and nicely decorated. Lots of nice touches and amenities in the room. The manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also great. Eggs cooked perfectly!

Cons:

Being the top floor but I’m nitpicking. It was also pretty noisy due to construction workers the next morning but these things re outwith the hotels control
