the room was spacious with a beautiful view. i loved watching the helicopters from the comfy bed. the view of the river from the bath was lovely, and i liked the red sofas in the room.
the spa closes too early at 7pm, it would be better if it opened until 10pm especially if you are out all day.

Fab Hotel With Minor Issues!
helpful staff memberspacious roomrestaurant foodmismatched theme
Staff was lovely! Upon arrival, a staff member greeted me in the car park, even offering to take my bags. My room was spacious and clean. The bar staffs were a great bunch, the restaurant food was excellent, and that chocolate cake was really good.
The decor inside had some weird mismatched themes. The rooms are dark inside. I overlooked a courtyard. People could see inside my room, and that felt insecure.
Location

The hotel is near a bus stop. This made it easy to take a bus to Victoria. There is a bus stop directly outside, and there are places to eat within walking distance, super convenient.
