Pros:

Location is ideal in the heart of the city.

Cons:

My shower leaked water ( a pool of water) outside the shower bay. Other guests were noisy, the refrigerator was noisy at night time. The streaming service kept dropping out during movies and one of the lifts stopped working.

Pros:

Location was fantastic, breakfast was lovely

Cons:

Only one lift was working and it took ages to be able to go up and down the lift as it was constantly full of people. At one point it took 20mins just to get from my floor to reception. We had no body wash in our shower so we phoned reception but no one answered the phone. After several attempts at calling reception we ended up having to walk down to reception and asked for some. It then took an extra 40 mins to get the wash delivered to our room.

Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Broken elevator.
We were there for 4 nights and the room as serviced less than 24 hours before we left. It would've been better if the room had been done in the middle of our stay.
