"For the area, I think this was probably a pretty good hotel, especially for the price. The staff was fantastic, In general, this is a nice hotel that gets the job done, you certainly won’t be worse off for staying here. My only complaint would be that it seems like it’s a plug-in play corporate Hotel trying to be a cool place for people to stay. So it didn’t have that unique charm that we get by staying with smaller places. All of that said, the staff was exceptional, and I certainly wouldn’t...

"We left check-in a bit too late which came a faff as we were approaching the property on public transport. You need to check-in to obtain an entry code for the building and your room. Our own fault - we should have read the instructions earlier and checked-in to get the code. All good in the end though - the apartment was immaculate, well sited for access across the city and we'd certainly recommend to others and would revisit."
