All in all everything was incredible, had a really really nice stay on this visit. There was plenty of brilliant options for full English breakfast. Stunning location, a short walk to Albert Memorial.

Didn't like the staff, some of them were very rude.

My time there was quite comfortable. The hotel had a very central location and it was walking distance to George Iv. Nestled close to bars and restaurants. Brilliant check out.

Shame the bathroom was very small.

The venue is relaxing and contemporary, its location is prime, so close to all the attractions and the old town and the city centre. The pool area is very clean too.
