Currently (Dec 2024) there is scaffolding up so no views out the windows and entrance is a bit hidden.
Easy distance to the river and several routes to get into the city.

Phone not working !!
We were not told about the external scaffolding which wasn’t a great issue. We tried to call reception about some banging around in a bedroom above us at 11pm. It was continuously enguaged - even the Emergancy button did not work. We had to google the hotel number to get an answer. Overall nice hotel in the middle of ever thing.

Good location but no care to room equipment
Hotel is covered by scaffolding. No mention was made about this on booking. Staff on arrival ok but no apology for no warning of scaffolding jusy reason for it. Unlikely to have booked if known. In room using hairdryer which didnt sound particularly good, it gave a small explosion, singed my hair and started severly smoking. Tried to call Rec, but phone not plugged in and on trying to plug ot in, the wire disappeared into the wall. I had to go down from 6th floor to rec. I was given a spare hairdryer but no apology just mild surprise. Had to ask him to check the hairdryer and phone.
I mentioned issues on check out as i had asked the night rec to make a note. Day staff unaware and made another note. Apology given but nothing else. This is for a room that was £303!! Not very impressed.

I liked the proximity to all of the attractions. I felt that the hotel was not transparent and did not inform on the website a full disclosure that the hotel was being remodeled. There was scaffolding everywhere and was unable to open windows. Also, the hotel was full to capacity and I was given a handicap room which it was not what I booked. I have stayed and have booked multiple rooms in the past, but I was extremely disappointed. An email was sent to the hotel expressing my grievances and I didint even receive an apology

The location of the hotel was near to a bus stop and main attractions. My time of visit the hotel was under renovation but it wasn't disturbing.

The general service is a little rude, especially for a girl on the reception named Tsiana she is not quite nice, overall all the other members are nice and kind. It seems there’s a lack of training for some staff members. Additionally, the lift was out of service all weekdays and you needed use stairs, in my personal case I was on the first floor and I didn’t have issues dealing with that. All the outside of this building it’s been repaired, but during night there’s quite. Labors starts at 9 AM but those weren’t noise
