solid hotel experience
helpful staff secure space early breakfast
The staff was consistently helpful. i had a secure space for my bicycle and the night porter opened up early for my early start. I could have breakfast from 6:15 am. the hidden garden offered a nice space to relax. we loved it.
i found the decor in the bar and food area disappointing. the chairs were stained, and the springs felt broken. the curtains and carpet also showed stains. this area needs a complete revamp.

The breakfast was good and had a lot of choice.
The room felt very worn. The mattress seemed like it needs replacing because it sagged. The pillows were also very flat and I didn't sleep too well.

the staff was so cute , especially laura at reception , she were pretty good too ensure i was comfortable ! she even made a great playlist for drinks in the lounge , how cool is that ? the breakfast team was awesome too , so cheerful even super early.
the room door was kinda hard to deal with because it squeezed , and the heating wasn't working properly , so it was a bit chilly. i noticed some dust in the bathroom , especially on top of the door and the mirror light. that door to the lounge kept slamming shut and was super annoying.
