7.4/10

The hotel offers some nice amenities like GHD hair straighteners, a Dyson hair dryer, and delicious snacks, but the rooms are extremely small, even smaller than a typical lodge room. The lack of a proper restaurant was disappointing, with only small plates available. Breakfast had some hits and misses, with soggy black pudding and hash browns but nice scrambled eggs. The service was a mixed bag, with friendly staff but some issues like a leaking shower and lack of fixes. The location is a winner, conveniently close to the train station and major city attractions.

My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were lovely and very modern, with thoughtful touches like complementary drinks. It was quiet, spotlessly clean, and incredibly cozy. The service was top-notch, with staff being helpful, courteous, and even offering champagne for breakfast. The hotel's location was perfect, right in front of the train station and close to all the pubs and restaurants. The dining experience was exceptional, although a bit on the pricey side given the limited breakfast choices. Overall, a fantastic stay worth every penny.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were done to an excellent standard, spacious, and equipped with high-quality facilities, making them feel like mini self-contained artistic apartments. However, the room was only serviced once during my three-day stay, and the breakfast experience was underwhelming with soggy black pudding and hash browns. On the upside, the scrambled eggs were nice, but the lack of basic condiments was noticeable.
