Great hotel! However you should pay for the Carpark in the hotel, not using the parking app as it’s cheaper in the hotel

Clean, nicely decorated room. Very comfortable bed, excellent pillows, good quality floor coverings. Could have done with at least one chair. The building work detracts from the offering but at least that’s not permanent. The filtered water tap is a nice addition, as is the coffee pod machine.
Only small downsides: too few towels, no sweeteners, only three hangers.
