10/10 Excellent
"Great location, clean spacious room and very comfortable bed. Great staff. Only complaint is that I checked in after a very long day travelling after three different flights, and went up to my room only to find that neither card works. I had to go all the way down again, with my bags, to reception where to be fair it was fixed quickly with a brief apology. Something I could have definitely done without - please make sure the staff at reception know what they're doing and check these things - it's an incredible inconvenience otherwise!!"
