Looking tired and it’s expensive for this type of experience

Pros: Central to colleges Cons: While I have stayed here before, the property appeared tired, a the surrounding building work is also an ugly addition. I will pick somewhere else next time

Great location extremely clean rooms

Pros: Good location helpful staff and extremely clean Cons: Not a dislike but when we went to use the spa facilities the changing room area was messy with used towels and slippers everywhere and they had run out of robes so we had to walk around in a towel

great place to stay but poor room service

Pros: the location was terrific the hotel was very nice Valet Parking was very useful Cons: We were told room service was available until 10pm we arrive back from a drinks reception at 9.45 and were told the kitchen was closed so we had nothing to eat very disappointing. Also dirty breakfast dishes were left in the restaurant while the waiter eat his breakfast!

A lovely room and relaxing trip to use the spa facilities.

Pros: Great location and lovely room. Cons: Drinks on roof terrace were expensive and very watered down. Breakfast was underwhelming.

Pleasant stay in a very busy city.

Pros: The location is excellent for all the city attractions. The bedroom was fully fitted with large bed and plenty of storage. Cons: With only one lift at times one had to wait more than one would have expected.
