"We were given the sky loft room-as it suggests it is at the top of the building but what a room."

“The location, a residential area just a short walk from the city centre, strikes a nice balance. While some reports mention cleanliness issues that would give me pause, the presence of spacious rooms and the inviting Caffè Ethos, with its blend of English and Italian cuisine, are definite pluses. It seems like a spot with potential, though one might want to manage expectations on arrival.”

limited varietypoor soundproofing
I had a bit of a frustrating experience . The breakfast selection seemed VERY limited. It really lacked variety. the room wasn't as soundproofed as I'd hoped. I could clearly hear conversations from the adjacent room, which wasn't exactly conducive to a relaxing stay. I think some improvements in these areas would greatly enhance the guest experience.
