The room was super clean. I particularly enjoyed the lovely decor and the perfect location overlooking Parker's piece. The city centre was easily accessible. The sandwiches available until 6:30am were a definite highlight. They were delicious and really convenient.
The receptionist's accent was difficult to understand, requiring her to repeat information several times.

The reception team gave a warm welcome when I arrived. They upgraded me to the Wordsworth Suite. It included every luxury. I loved the bathroom.
I had a problem. I was not informed that I had to book any meals in advance. It took serious negotiation to dine in the hotel I was staying in. Reception is not very helpful.

I found the location to be quite convenient. The staff members I encountered were friendly. My room included a modern television and a comfortable bed.
My room lacked sufficient sound insulation. I could clearly hear noise from adjacent rooms, and it was quite distracting. The breakfast buffet had limited options and the coffee was weak. I noticed some wear and tear on the furniture in the common areas.
