Very comfortable, lovely decor and great location.
Pros:

The modern facilities, coffee pod machine, great size bathroom super comfy bed.

Cons:

We had some confusion on arrival due to the property owning two properties a couple of doors from each other. We weren't told this on booking and we had some confusion on our late arrival and we're waiting at the wrong location. Fortunately the manager came to our rescue eventhough he was on annual leave and it was 10pm
And raining ! He called us and walked us through the situation. All resolved, and very comfortable room. It did also lack a lift and we had to drag our bags up two flights of stairs, so it wouldn't suit everyone.

Pros:

There is a realy nice coffee machine in the room. Some free snacks and drinks in a little fridge. I liked the room design.

Cons:

Room is small, there is no any coffee table or chair in it. I understood that too late, so I couldn't close a window in a bathroom. The window is placed really high, and there is no chance that I can get it without a chair. The bathroom was really chilly because of that.

Pros:

The bathroom was nicely updated and the bed was very comfortable. I also liked the TV mount that can be turned to either side of the room.

Cons:

I was disappointed that there wasn't a chest of drawers to unpack my suitcase. The hanging rack was too small for me so my jacket and tux hung over the coffee maker.
