First time at a virgin property, surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It’s upscale without being stuffy and the staff go above to make your stay pleasant. We utilized the umbrellas at the entrance on a drizzly afternoon and found them a great offering. We also had a night cap at the commons club every night. The bar staff were welcoming and I enjoyed the elderflower forward special menu of the month. Would stay again.

Whilst a lovely hotel very modern, but the rooms are very small, essentially the bathroom and dressing room is the hallway entrance. Felt all very enclosed you could get more room in a travel lodge. So very disappointing, especially for the price. Also the modern technology for heating etc had to be reset twice. Also we were kept awake by the nightclub music until gone 2am.

The “Virgin” brand means the hotel can charge extra. Checking in was not pleasant. Too many people. Too small a space. Otherwise our stay was fine. Great decor. Good location.

Lauren, Golden

Way too modern for my taste. The room was basically a pod, no fresh air, people above us below us, on every side ...all stuck in these AI designed sleeping pods. Yuck. Definitely not what we wanted. And the "window" that they told me I had didn't open and looked out into some sort of courtyard of office hallways. Terrible.
