Great location, but very unfortunate experience with facility. The tub didn't drain for two nights. After a long day out and about, it was not pleasant to have to have someone up to our room to unclog the drain quite noisily. On the third day, someone came by our room early to work on the drainage issue. After that, it drained very, very slowly. The next day, we were informed upon arrival that the hot water was out. Finally, it required a lot of upper arm strength to turn off the water--but we persevered because it was too much to call with another issue. I hope renovations fix these issues.

Not a good experience.

Had to move from our exec room on the first night due to water leak from room above. Moved into 2 std rooms on 5th floor. Had to again argue that 4 people booked meant 4 breakfasts. I'm not going to let my kids starve. Had this on both mornings. No notice about the building work so lifts out of order and dust everywhere. Staff were courteous on the main.

Good location & convenient for public transport. Some building improvement works taking place inside with manual signage where needed, space around lifts limited as a result. Apart from that its a good base

Well-located and reasonable value for money, but the property is rather tired, and a few small improvements would have made a big difference to the level of comfort - eg no bedside table or shelf on one side of the bed, lack of pegs and rails for coats/towels.
