The hotel was nice friendly staff. They were doing construction during our stay so it was a bit noisy during the day. Room was small but I was told that was the standard.

The rooms at the hotel were clean and looked modern. Unfortunately the building was having some renovations done during my stay so it was a bit awkward to find the front door, other than that the hotel is located in a really nice area with easy access to transport links.

The fire alarm went off at all hours of the night. The staff said it was due to hot showers in the bath and the door was left open so it triggered the alarm. Very disappointed.
