The hotel is well positioned and the access to cinema and restaurants is wonderful. In room dining meals were delivered on time, hot and tasty. Breakfast selection is extensive and worth at least one meal or taking out the breakfast option. This unfortunately is where the positives start to fall off: The ‘Creative Sun’ room was spacious but the furniture coverings were of a material that can’t be easily cleaned on a regularly basis. These points showed on the upholstery and the cushions/soft appointments were stained. The hotels efforts to provide a retro industrial chic feel were detracted by the level of cleanliness. On a positive the bed was comfortable and the sheets clean. However the acrylic bed blanket is old and covered in pilling. Carpet was dated and there was stained with lint and dirt on the floor. The dust on top and of the cupboards was thick and came off when opening the door to the fridge nook. The bathroom is wonderful and the towels clean, large and soft. The heating thermostat errored frequently. The lighting was dim and temperature setting could not be seen. A torch was used. There are a number of residents who own dogs, which made elevator rides interesting. Immediately outside side the hotel on the stones there were multiple dog droppings. Should be picked up not welcoming

We found the rooms to be particularly dark with no natural light even in the middle of the day- and without sufficient in room lighting for day to day tasks such as working, applying makeup. Corridors were also very dark with no natural light making it difficult to navigate to eg; the car park. No window with outlook to tell if it was sunny or raining etc Also re streaming tv service - we were able to use chrome cast to stream - but there was NO sound making it unusable.

This stunning property is all about 'COOL' from the moment you arrive in the eclectic space (an architectural gem) to the rooms themselves. An open area for the bar and casual dining, with fireplace and funky objects on display as well as a massive descending staircase that takes you to a first-class cinema (no need to leave the hotel) and at the time of my stay the Scandinavian Film Festival was on show! If only they had not closed their dining room, an inviting space with an excellent menu for the omnivorous plant-loving dinners: now just a simple spot in the bar with a limited choice :(

Stay was ok staff were lovely at check in but didn’t think this was a 5 star that people raved over. We stayed in the meandering room. No sports stations on the tv, facilities were low and wasn’t what we felt people raved about.

Comfortable stay with room for improvements

The bed was very comfortable. Candy bar had lindt chocolate during Easter which was amazing treat for kids. Booked room for three but was only provided towels for two, had to request room service to deliver another one. Hotel Parking was third party run and not easy, straight forward. Breakfast was just ok.
