A Decent Stay
friendly staff delicious food limited view cramped corridor
The staff was very friendly. The meals were excellent, and high quality. I found the food delicious! The room was clean.
My room had no view. I looked at a wall! Access to the room was through numerous cramped corridors and heavy fire doors. That was pretty inconvenient. The poached eggs at breakfast were overcooked. I found it disappointing.

mixed experience, some issues noted
uncomfortable bed low pressure
The bed in my standard double room was quite uncomfortable, i did not sleep very well. the shower had very low pressure. It was just a trickle. the corridors to the room were cramped with heavy fire doors, it felt a bit maze-like. the breakfast was ok, but the poached eggs were overcooked, a bit rubbery.
