Fine for a corporate hotel
Pros:

The room was comfortable, decent shower, good amenities in the room.

Cons:

The breakfast was so-so. As is often the case with hotel buffets, the hot food was a bit eh by the time it got to the plate. The buttons to call the elevator in the lobby were installed upsidown so it looks like the elevators are just going down to an underground carpark or something and I just wandered around trying to find the lift to the residential floor for ages and the receptionist just watched me and then was a bit rude when I asked where the lifts going up were and pointed out the confusing buttons. Its not the most convenient to access by foot from the other side of the river, especially with the road works that were blocking pedestrian access on many surrounding roads at the time of my visit.

Very pleasant - excellent location !
Pros:

It was functional and comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly on the bar. At reception and especially the lovely lady who took care of us at breakfast ( with glasses)! Beds really comfortable and pillows not too big !

Cons:

The rooms were not lit very well -,only one reading light on one side of the bed and no good overhead light. The heater took some working out - couldn’t find an explanation . Car parking on Saturday night was a nightmare .
