10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location, room was very clean, a little cosy for 2 adults and 2 children but fine for one night with plenty of towels and accessories. The complimentary bar was appreciated by all. Special shout out to Anthony the doorman who made my two granddaughters' feel very special. Thank you."
