Convenient Stay Near the Armouries

helpful staff clean room easy access
the staff was very helpful and friendly. the room I had was clean. I found the hotel easy to access directly from the carpark! it was really convenient as I wanted to visit the royal armouries museum, just a short walk away.
during my stay, basic amenities such as bottled water were not provided. also, the breakfast menu remained unchanged each morning, which became a little monotonous!
Dining
9/10
I observed a nice flexibility regarding the food. The staff provided vegan sausages on the second day. this thoughtful touch catered well to specific dietary needs and demonstrated a genuine care for the guests' preferences!
