The room had everything we needed for a short stay. The room needed cleaner surfaces. Overall, I would stay there again.

There's a lot of talk about "the vibe" and "the fam"...but not a lot in terms of service delivery. I was there on a night when there was an event downstairs. The layout of the property means that the noise factor for inhouse guests is very loud. Less than ideal. Rooms are quite well fitted out but very compact, really only suitable for one person on a short term stay. Could be a lot better if the hotel wasn't so intent on trying to be the "cool kids on the block" and instead just run a hotel well.

Location is excellent. Rooms are pretty tight but OK for short stays. 99% of staff were excellent, friendly, helpful. For our first week we had a served breakfast which was amazing, really good. Then, alas, they switched to a buffet which was a disaster. Cold food, cold plates and to be consumed in a cold and windy outside space. No cutlery, toaster not working, packaged coffee, it was a real let down. We mentioned it to several members of staff who apologised. It really left a sour taste. If the served breakfast continental throughout our stay I would have no problem giving it 5 stars but now it's a 3.

Everything was excellent but there was one thing that I could comment, the room with the king size bed has no space for the person who's at the other side of the bed to walk around. I had a cut on my knee because of it.because I slide and hit on

Location and rooms were excellent, the reason I didn’t give it 5 was because they didn’t clean the rooms as often as they said they would. But other than that it was fantastic

Breakfast available was awful. No point in providing food options if they are not nice. Some aspects of the room electronics were nice but the curtains already didn’t work and the lights were haphazard, so I really wonder how the fit out will age
