What the reviews say

The chef here takes dietary needs seriously, accommodating a guest's coeliac disease with genuinely good gluten-free meals across her whole stay. The carpets in the corridors smell of damp, and that detail comes up more than once.

  • One reviewer noted staff went out of their way to accommodate a celiac diet, with the chef personally preparing gluten-free meals throughout the stay.
  • The rooftop bar as a highlight, describing it as welcoming and well-run with spectacular views over the city.
  • One woman reported that the elevator broke on two out of three days, leaving a colleague trapped inside during a morning rush.
  • A reviewer staying in room 808 warned that cracked shower floor tiles posed a risk of injury.
  • One reviewer noted the hotel organised a walking tour of the city centre, which came with useful information about the surrounding area.
  • The elevator broke on two of three days during one guest's stay, causing significant disruption.
  • Room quality appears inconsistent, with some guests praising clean, comfortable rooms while one reported a very uncomfortable bed with undersized covers.
  • Damp-smelling carpets in the corridors were flagged by multiple reviewers as a recurring issue.
  • The rooftop bar is described as comfortable and well-run, though one guest suggested the food menu there could be expanded.
  • The hotel parking is narrow and reported as difficult to navigate for less confident drivers.
