Great location, everything is clean. The water pressure and temperature at the shower is great! The restaurant has a beautiful view, coffee is great, you'll find fruit and everything that you need for your own version of an English breakfast. Everyone at the front desk were really helpful, they helped me and made my stay and trip so much better.

Room clean, quite small though. A bit noisy. Staff must have been cleaning or moving furniture in adjacent rooms or upstairs during the night. Breakfast- good. Staff friendly. Overpriced.
