Nice hotel with really nice facilities. The only downside is that the rooms are too dark with black walls and not good lighting. There’s no chrome cast which is a bit annoying. Other than that the gym is good, and the spa area is amazing!

SO Disappointing.
Great location, very cool hotel, and some thoughtful touches like complimentary mini-bar. BUT: curtains closed leaving large gaps, so room was light, not double glazed so lots of road/people noise (2nd floor room), toilet had a sliding door that was shared with the shower, so you could only use one at a time, and the door didn't close fully so no privacy. We had a balcony, which could have been nice, but it was very sad, only had one chair, some dead plants, and nothing really dividing our balcony from the next room.
