Room was clean and refurbished. The refurbished rooms were still quite narrow and the room seemed very small. The hotel is undergoing a refurbishment so amenities are not all there yet. Breakfast was nice.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, in particular, the reception staff and housekeeping manager. Rooms are a little dated and expensive for what you get. However, no issues with cleanliness which is important to me!
