Great central property, parking pricy. Had paid extra for continent breakfast but was unable to upgrade this to full breakfast in bed, had to pay full fee to upgrade so felt a bit ripped off. Great room though woth massive comfy bed. Six restaurant had great menu and views. Used the free spa which was great to relax in and had discounted trip punting on the river 😎
