The communal areas are wonderful and the gym is great. My bedroom was minuscule and with a courtyard view which was surprising for a 300+£ stay. The bed was hard as a rock and although they helpfully gave me a topper it did not resolve the issue. I now have neck pain! The bedroom was very loud - could hear the person upstairs walking and the shower noise so I was kept awake late and woke up very early. I expect a different room might have been better ? I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you value a good night sleep.
