the location was very convenient for public transport. rooms had a good size , they were comfortable too! the mini bar was cool , it was two euros for anything. i also really liked the l'occitane bathroom toiletries that they provided , a nice touch.

i booked the hotel because i wanted somewhere central. the single room cost nearly £400 a night , my expectations were very high. i did not find a safe in my room. dining room staff were efficient but not very friendly.
