Opened in 2017, bedrooms are attractively furnished with floor to ceiling windows, some with balconies and city views. They feature free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, complimentary refreshments, desk and chair, complimentary toiletries and hairdryers.

    We arrived early and was able to access our room early which was so helpful. All the staff we dealt with were incredibly helpful and lovely. The place was very clean, great location and had some luxury touches which weren't expected as it was such great value for the location. The mattresses were very soft, which isn't a personal preference, but didn't impact the stay and I will absolutely be booking again
