This hotel is in a safe and accessible location within Melrose Arch. The retro decor takes a while to get used to but don’t let that put you off. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast’s spectacular. The best part of the hotel is the people. From the front desk to the restaurant to the laundry facilities, everyone is incredibly friendly and efficient. I have stayed here multiple times with my family and alone, and will keep on coming back. Very good value for money.

The staff is absolutely phenomenal. From the moment you enter the hotel every single person no matter the position is ensuring you are well taken care of. The front desk was so amazing. The dining room staff could not have been more accommodating. The servive was top notch and the food was incredible. The omelets were my favorite, cooked to perfection. The chef remembered my order the next day Impressive!!! The bellhops were very efficient and friendly. Try this hotel you will not be disappointed. Also the decor is straight out of a architectural magazine, very beautiful.

It is a very decent and comfortable hotel. Location is excellent and near the shopping mall and spa. Security was excellent too. Check in was fast. Room service was good and they allowed a late checkout without extra expenses. We had 6 pieces of luggage and they allowed all to be stored in their luggage room, after checkout. The restaurant in the premises was excellent and overall the hotel was very good value for money.

Guest rooms, pool area and location are great! The lobby needs a complete refurbishment. The lobby is uninviting, dark, unwelcoming and old. It is the only reason why I did not rate it five stars.

When we booked we asked for a room with bath and they accepted our booking. On arrival we were given a room without a bath and were informed that all rooms had no bath except for 3 in the entire hotel which are booked long in advance- we booked over 6months ago. Hotel looks tired and rooms very small. No toiletries were available in the room. Staff were outwardly friendly but totally matter of fact and not helpful at all. Was not told that parking was included by reception and the porter asked me why I was paying for parking since I was a guest. He directed me to reception where happy to then stamp the parking ticket but were not forthcoming as to why I wasn’t offered the same.
