Staff was nice. Would have loved a heads up when our room was ready to check in as we requested an early check in. But staff happily stored our bags. Room was clean.

Clean room, spacious, nicely decorated. Good shower pressure. Aircon didn’t work (or I couldn’t figure out the controls, no instructions) and as the room was almost in the attic, first night it was very hot. Temperature dropped the second night and it was better.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I rarely ever give a poor review, but for this one I need to. Floor dirty (so much so my daughter’s feet turned black walking on it); filthy bathroom door, sink tap that flooded counter when turned on, unsecure wifi and to top it off cleaning lady walked into our room in morning without knocking.
Rusted tower bar
Filthy bathroom door
Tap that leaks when turned on

Clean room and laid out well. Very warm overnight even in January! 2 fans supplied which was great but still stuffy. Construction works went on until 8pm but quiet after that. Great for what we needed as early Eurostar journey!
