Old time elegance in the city.
Pros:

This was an absolute gem. Was a bit worried from the outside, but when we stepped into the accommodation, it was great. A double-story room that allowed for two spaces during our stay.

Cons:

No spa, just a swimming pool.

Modern post industrial decor in a very accessible location
Pros:

Staff, location and the lobby decor were amazing.

Cons:

Was in 203. The noise around 730am from bins, the clear glass shower with no solid toilet walls (per advertised pictures) means lights disturbing partner if amenities are used in the middle of the night.

IF staying by Central Station this is a lovely place to stay.
Pros:

Great Location, and the room was very spacious. Staff at reception were very attentive and lovely to deal with.

Cons:

The room was not serviced the by house keeping, and when we mentioned this, we were told the team were going home at 4:30 so it was not going to be done.
