The best location hands down. Walking distance to all the main sights. However, the rooms and decor are horrendous, makes it feel dingy, if you don’t care great but it made us feel a bit uncomfortable. We’ve stayed at other Kimptons and we were very surprised by this one. If Kimpton updated this site, this hotel would be unbeatable!

Quite disappointed to be honest. We had been flying all day and arrived at the hotel at 3.05pm. Check in was after 3pm. We were told that our room wasn’t ready and we had to wait in the lobby. We were told that we would receive a text when the room was ready. We weren’t offered any refreshments or any apology. We decided that we didn’t want to wait in the lobby as it was too busy and loud. We decided to go for a walk. After an hour we retuned to the reception and asked if the room was ready. We were then asked if we had received a text which we hadn’t but at this point all we wanted to do was shout and sleep. We then had another wait until the room was ready and the key was handed over. Again no apology. Disappointing start. We were also surprised on the Sunday when we retuned back to the hotel at 7pm after a full day out to find that the bar and restaurant was closed. Very surprising for a 4 star hotel not to be able to feed its guests at 7pm.

We had to call to have the tub drain. We had to call because housekeeping did not leave coffee supplies. We had to call for more towels. An employee ran his full luggage cart into my husbands leg, causing major damage. Nothing could be done at the site, info sent to corp. legal. Food in restaurant was substandard. If one doesn't book thru the hotel, not points applied.

Front desk staff underwhelming, Bar restaurant makes you feel very unwelcome. They start cleaning and turning the lights on by 9:50 and very annoyed you’re there. Very concerned about washing the glasses versus serving drinks. Food was delicious though. Rooftop bar was not open on Thursday as stated. Nice happy hour drink after work. Housekeeping was exceptional. Absolutely no amenities at this hotel though. Gave me a room that faces in the interior like a prison cell. Overall would not stay here again, there’s just too many other options.
