Rooms are great; modern and clean. The shower has good pressure and heat. Beds are comfortable and you’ll raise an eyebrow at the impressive quality of the free toiletries. Wi-Fi is free and good. There is plenty of storage space and the self-check in arrangement is efficient and swift.
Rooftop cocktails and nightcaps are good and there is discounted, but still very expensive, overnight parking opposite the hotel. There’s a good shopping centre next door and the nearby underground provides easy access to more shops, restaurants and nightlife.
As with many hotels, it’s the staff members who save the day and linger in the memory. Here, they are really friendly and cheerful. They really seem to love working here.
Tea and coffee facilities in the room would have been appreciated. There are coffee shops in the immediate area, but they aren’t the answer if you fancy a drink at 3 AM! On the catering front, generally, breakfast and bar snacks are indifferent and not overly appetising. They aren’t cheap either. The breakfast area is also very cramped and not comfortable.
The downside to the quick self-check in is the lack of any welcome. There's no dialogue with the staff members who, when you see them, are terrific. Also, at this stage, there can be queries over the issuing of invoices and other matters; but assistance is limited.
It’s noticeable that there is no telephone in the room. In case of emergency, there is no contact with the reception desk or the outside world. There is no iron in the room. There is a facility in the corridor and in public view; but this arrangement is far from ideal.
