The hotel was fine just very expensive for what it was (£200 a night). However, understandable as F1 GP was in town which we hadnt realised when booking. Reasonable location 5 minutes walk from tram which took 15 mins to centre. Turn left and left again out of front door for vibrant dining areas

This is the 1st time I've stayed here & I was very impressed & very convenient to Lygan St restaurants. Rooms were presented beautifully, so clean & fresh. Morning cleaners were friendly & when I've been out & returned back to my room it was all nice & tidy. Shannon at the desk was great, he always greeted me when I was going out or returning, he was genuinely interested in where I'd been for the day. Pool was great to swim in everyday, however the tiles of the pool needs to scrubed as there is built up scum on the top few rows.
