Pleasant but very expensive for what was offered in the accommodation
Pros:

Well appointed for the Olympia Conference centre.

Cons:

Poor Aircon in a very hot and cramped triple room which would be better as a double. Bathroom was extremely small and cramped with a sliding door that did not offer much privacy.

No staff on site over night. We had an issue with a loud random noise in our room and no one on site to discuss it with. Comfortable room but noise kept us awake.

Great hotel - Much better than expected!
Pros:

Really friendly staff, lovely and clean and in a great location!

Cons:

The sheets/towels weren’t the best quality but fair for what we paid. The room is small but we expected that and there was still enough space for us - maybe a bit small if you had big suitcases.
