a good stay , some downsides

public transport convenient location good size comfortable room bathroom toiletries lovely toiletries room safe absent safe unfriendly staff dining staff high price night price

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.
