Response from Management
Hey Neil, thank you for leaving us a review and for letting us know how your stay was. I'm really glad to see that you could give us great scores for our location, service and cleanliness and that you enjoyed those aspects of your stay. I think there has been some confusion on our end and I'm sorry to see that you have been charged for the extra beds in the rooms you booked with us, as they were already booked for 3 guests, so this charge shouldn't have been added. We do charge £40 for the extra bed if the booking has been made for 2 guests but in this case that wasn't necessary. Please rest assured that we will be issuing a refund for these charges. I hope that you would choose to stay with us again despite this and give us another chance to give you an amazing stay. All the best, Shauna & the team

Nice hotel. But the finishing touches...

Response from Management
Hi Gianfranco, Thank you for the feedback. I'm pleased you thought our building was pretty and hip, and I'm glad you found our central location so useful. I'm sorry to hear about the hot water issue and will ask our maintenance team to look into this asap. The lighting was chosen by our architect to create a calm atmosphere, but we understand it's not for everyone. Some of our rooms are naturally quite and brighter than others depending our their location within the building, so if you do stay again we can do our best to allocate one of these for you. Best wishes, Grace
