Exceptional

Nice modern and welcoming hotel.

Liked: Very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was nice. The location was perfect, near restaurants and shops, and we parked our car in the nearby Q parking which was a few minutes walk away. Check-in and check-out was smooth and easy.
Disliked: We didn't like the fact that the bathroom was not separate from the rest of the bedroom. You would need to be very close to whoever you're sharing with because, apart from the toilet cubicle, the rest of the bathroom facilities are open-plan. The lighting is a bit odd as well so you have to turn on all the bathroom lights to switch the toilet light on, so at night if you need to go, you have to fumble around in the dark so as not to wake up the person you're sharing with. Like many modern hotels, the windows didn't open, so we had to have the air conditioning on which became a bit dry and stuffy. If we switched it off, it was airless and even more stuffy!
