Reviews
I loved the options of borrowing tote bags and cameras to go around the city, and the reusable water bottles were really handy (plus the tap water is the best water I’ve ever tasted!)
Staff were easy to get in contact with and very friendly.
The bed was really comfy and I slept very well every night. I do wish the room was a little darker at night as the curtains let quite a bit of light in, but on the whole it was a brilliant stay and I’d definitely recommend it.
Another big concern is wifi security, my phone keeps alerting me off someone casting their phone to the TV screen, it is very annoying as I had to find way to skip this alert. In other words, they could also see me ! As an IT person myself, the wifi router is less than the minimum configuration for security.
