8/10 Good
"The theory is exceptional - and once you are in, it’s a great facility. The only thing that is massively frustrating is the fact that you have to go through about 10/12 emails downloading apps and then passes, just to get in the building, then once you are in the building, you have to wait for about 20 minutes in a holding area to get another email with your pod number and a QR code..:I suppose that’s the way it works, but it’s not a smooth operation, otherwise it’s a great facility"

"Unusual circular room design which we found to greatly reduce useful space in that tiny room. The shower and toilet were separate enclosures, not a bad idea, but who on earth tiles tiny spaces in black?? It felt like you were in a cave, really bad idea. Soap dospensers, poor design. It's a great idea to provide breakfast, however the only items that tastes like real food were the hard boiled eggs and the bread. Everything else tastes processed with a strange fore or after taste. Location was great even though some UBER drivers would mix up the location with the other RIU nearby. I think this hotel does not live up to the RIU standards"
