Room was clean. However, the rooms are located around the bar, restaurant and pool area so are noisy at night with the sound of voices, and furniture being dragged across the floor. Bed very soft so not comfy.

Room is nothing like the photos. We were locked out of our room due to a failing battery. Manager did what he could but sadly we will never stay here again. It was supposed to be a romantic weekend away and instead was a weekend from hell. Thank you to the manager who checked us out you were truly the only highlight this place had to offer.

Excellent hotel. Convenient location for the Strand, ferry wharf and shopping. Room was clean and comfortable. Sink vanity area in bedroom but loo and shower were separate which was a very convenient set up. Nice pool area and both restaurants served really good food.

Terrific value, concierge staff were polite and helpful throughout. Upstairs bar was on occasion not so welcoming, keen to close early whenever possible, service was otherwise efficient though.
