The bedrooms lacked air conditioning and the windows did not open much more than a crack which made it unbearable as the outside temps were mid 20's. We were only staying one night otherwise we would have demanded a fan. Other than that the rooms were basic and functional.

The staff were really nice, easy check-in/check-out, the hotel is in a very nice area where I don’t have to worry about anything. There was no air conditioning whatsoever, but I guess that’s a UK thing that I’m not used to.

Location was great. No mini fridge in room. Loud street if that’s something that concerns you. Have luggage storage but process is a joke. Has multiple staff members just hanging out in the lobby, only one person helping luggage storage. Waited 15 minutes just to get no where.
