Hotel has such bad ventilation that you get waken up at 6:15 by kitchen smells, burning your nose. The staff who were on duty couldn't do anything other than 'reporting to manager', and the manager of the day was very rude and unapologic. Stay here at your own risk!

Good hotel but could do better

Lovely hotel in a good location. Food and staff great but for a relatively new hotel would have expected smart TVs, better wifi in rooms and furniture to be available on balconies.
