Generally nice hotel, a bit...

Liked: Excellent location, great room, very comfortable. En suite bathroom was large and well appointed.
Disliked: Parking was expensive £30 for one night. Open pack of biscuits left in the room from previous guests. Nice roof top bar, though service was very slow, staff weren’t attentive, didn’t know much about their wine choices for example.

Perfect city centre location, great...

Liked: Our room's balcony was a game changer - it made a fairly ordinary room wonderful, especially on the sunny day we stayed.
Disliked: No mini bar is a bad idea - for both guests and hotel.
