5 stars all round!! We were welcomed by a very friendly employee at the front desk who gave us a great start to our stay. We then went to our room and were gobsmacked! If I could pick up the room and bring it to my house I would have, so luxurious, spacious and bougie, the bed was so comfortable and we had an amazing sleep. Great location as well, right by the bars and clubs but that being said did not hear a peep when trying to go to sleep.

Great hotel but needs a little buffing!I upgraded my room online before arrival. Upon arrival I was told I have been given an upgrade complimentary. Although I was still made to pay the difference... I found this extremely disheartening.I also planned to not book breakfast or buy anything in preparation as there was a brunch menu in my room. Upon ordering this brunch the next day I was told it no longer exists, then why was this menu still in the room?Apart from this the room was very comfortable and spacious.

**A Hidden Gem at the End of Canal Street: An Exquisite Experience**From the moment we arrived at this wonderfully located hotel at the end of Canal Street, we knew we were in for a treat. This hotel exudes quiet sophistication, with thoughtful details that ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect.Upon entering our room, we were greeted by the sight of a sleek Illy coffee machine – a welcome touch for coffee aficionados, though it did take a bit of trial and error to master. It would have been nice to have a few more than just two pods, but the quality of the coffee made up for it. The room itself was a haven of comfort, featuring luxurious velvet furnishings and a massive TV that made unwinding in the evening an absolute pleasure.For those moments of relaxation, the dressing gowns provided were an appreciated luxury. They added to the overall sense of indulgence that permeated our stay. Check-in and check-out processes were seamless, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying our time at the hotel.Breakfast options were well-suited to all tastes. The continental breakfast provided a delightful start to the day, but for those with a heartier appetite, the hotel restaurant opens at 10 am, offering a more substantial array of dishes.In conclusion, our stay at this hotel was extremely pleasant, characterized by its quiet elegance and attention to detail. Whether you're in town for business or leisure, this hotel promises a sophisticated and comfortable retreat. We look forward to our next visit!

Stayed here for my husband’s birthday. Lovely decorated superior king size room, very comfortable bed, lovely big bathroom with big shower and roll top bath, friendly yet attentive staff. Central location. Others have noted the noise from canal street however it didn’t bother us at all.

I wish I could give more than five stars. From the moment we entered we knew we would be in for a treat! The staff (and I wish I had their names) were amazing, they went above and beyond each time. …
