Amazing hotel, prime location.
Pros:

The room was clean & tidy, everything was modern, staff were exceptionally friendly & welcoming, i did not meet a single member of staff that made me feel uncomfortable, which is rare, as humans often make me feel uncomfortable.

Cons:

They need to speak to the contractors about the terrible job they did on sealing the showers, they should not be leaking so much water, it isn't a problem i have, I just think that whoever they hired to do the plumbing for their hotel was a swindler.

Nice and quiet rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast
Pros:

Helpful and friendly staff - always welcoming and happy to help. Good breakfast selection. Nice restaurant seating area - nice and quiet in the evening too for some a light evening meal or snacks. Room was good - a little tight in the bathroom, but was very quiet - couldn't hear other guests moving around so was great.
