Great location but that’s it.
The check in was a bit lack lustre. Basically just gave us our door card after swiping the credit card. No explanation about our room, or our included breakfast and restaurant. The service in the bar for a couple of drinks and bar snacks was terrible.

Perfect for an early flight the next morning
We were made welcome and were offered an early check-in. Bar with a view on the 6th floor was great.
