The staff at reception were some of the friendliness and most helpful you will ever find. The hotel is in a perfect location, 2 mins from the Prom, 5 mins from a tram station and surrounded by great restaurants. The room was very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way! The location is perfectly walkable, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the lounge offers free coffee all day. Rooms are spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, complete with a kitchenette (microwave, fridge, kettle, stovetop, and espresso machine). I loved all the design touches throughout the space.
My only suggestion would be to add safety handles/bars in the shower/tub area to make it easier and safer to step out.
