The rooms are spacious and clean, but we found that the heating systems aren’t up to the job. Arriving to an apartment that was freezing cold was not a nice experience, and the heat pump was not working. In retrospect we should have got hot drinks and sat out near reception while the place warmed up after maintenance sorted it, but we shouldn’t have had to. On day 2 a very old (but effective) wall heater expired, filling our apartment with acrid smoke, resulting in having to be moved to another apartment that again was very cold, think 12 degrees Celsius. The bedrooms were only heated by a tiny fan heater, which of course cannot safely be used while asleep. My daughter’s room facing the street would have been 10 degrees C at most on some mornings. To be told with attitude by reception that we could have asked for electric blankets was unhelpful. They can’t be safely used all night either.

Our stay here was great. We arrived super early and our room was ready which was an awesome start! It was clean and tidy and great to have a separate room and living area. We didn't really use the kitchen too much as only there for two nights - but it had all the amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Great hotel in a good location. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Can drop off luggage before using car park which is just 100m away. Bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in when at a hotel and the range of pillows available was excellent.

We booked this hotel for one night while we had dinner in the city. The location was perfect, and the size of the room was very good. The staff weren't very knowledgeable about surrounding areas eg; shopping. Or about the pillow menu, when asked. Overall was a pleasant stay.
