Booked fairly last minute and decided over other hotels as the location looked perfect and booking.com said it was a 5 star hotel. ||This is not in my view a 5 star hotel, there is no grand entrance for taxis to arrive or bell staff, no concierge, there is no spa or pool or choice of restaurants. ||The room ( superior court yard) was very large but lacking in comforts expected, some are difficult to change, others could be updated. Lighting is a little dim, all lighting being lamps with no master so at night you need to switch each one off individually. ||Storage space was lacking, no draws, only a very small one under the desk, the TV very small, and inside the unit with the mini fridge and safe. You could not see all the tv if sat on the rather uncomfortable lounger. ||The safe was so low in this unit, you need to lay down to use it, the mini bar is the opposite and up high, why not the reverse I’m unsure. ||The curtains were very poor, not black out and barely would meet, the blinds behind them also failed to cover the window to give privacy. There is not much to see out the window ( floor 2) just offers a bed of weeds and other building walls. ||The king size bed was fitted with two single duvets, made no sense as they don’t stay in place as too small. ||The bathroom is odd, no toilet, that is in a separate room, with nowhere to wash your hands, no shower screen, instead a curtain which also needs to go round you both sides if you need privacy as there is a window looking out over the bedroom. ||Finally the roof bar - the first evening I was told it was not open to hotel guests as hired out to a private function. But tomorrow night it will be open. Tomorrow night came and it was closed to another private function. I did go and look in the day time, it’s quite a small area. ||Now the good things about the stay here. You will not find a better location, very central and for a tourist like me, simply perfect. You could nip back to the hotel with shopping and head out again. ||Excellent bed itself, nice coffee machine, mini bar filled daily for free, absolutely no noise from other rooms and the air con was good and exceptionally quiet. The room and hotel had a lovely subtle scent which was very nice. ||Staff were all lovely and helpful, breakfast great, and a lovely limo car arranged for my return to the airport. ||Not the sort of hotel you feel like you’re “in residence” but decent enough for a couple of days staying in the city. Maybe get the more expensive rooms facing the market to make for a better in room experience.
