The location is terrific and the staff excellent. The issue is the construction site opposite which starts at 6:30am and continues all day. The noise & disruption really dampened the experience.

Not so happy.

Booked room with City view but given a room at the back of hotel. Enquired why and told. It was because of building work across the road. Was told the room I was given with view over house and a couple of high rise buildings was equivalent. Not so. Staff not at all friendly on check in. Great position.

Amazing hotel I’ll stay again when the work stops.

The hotel and staff were great. The only annoying thing is sadly there is building work going on across the street that starts at 6:30 in the morning so being woken up (even with ear plugs) wasn’t the greatest. This is obviously no fault of the hotel but if I had know this was the case when booking I would have booked elsewhere. The room was great, clean, modern and comfortable the front desk staff was amazing even helping me find a tricky light switch at 2 in the morning. All amazing I just wanted a sleep in.

Do not stay here. There is a huge building site across the road which starts with a massive drill at 6.30am. The room is almost shaking. The hotel should advise potential customers before they part with their money. Instead, we were given a measly set of earplugs at check-in. What a joke.

Staff were lovely, the room was adequate but there was very loud construction happening around the hotel that started early and finished around five. It was constant and not ideal. It would have been nice to be told before my arrival. Other than the construction, nice area and no other issues.

Staff were friendly and responsive. When you are making a booking, the hotel should let people know about the noisy construction work that starts at 6.45am six days/ week. Room is basic for the price and there are limited facilities. TV doesn’t allow screen mirroring.

We only stayed overnight and it was fine. However, and we were warned, parking can be a bit of a nightmare. The parking at the hotel was completely booked out when we arrived, and the hotel can’t reserve parking. We ended up parking in Harcourt Street. The room, in terms of space, was typical of rooms in Europe rather than the opulence you get for a similar price in most parts of Asia. Still, it was fine for an overnight stay - and convenient to where we had to go that night. Very much appreciated the in-room coffee machine and accoutrements.
