Great room and facilities
Food at restaurant and the room service was terrible amongst the worst we have ever had sadly and quite expensive plus we could not see fireworks at the special paid for function as promised- most of the crowd felt the same so meant for a worse night than needed

Amazing view from our room and a great location.
Choice of pillows was limited. Didn't sleep well as I prefer a small thin pillow which was not available

Location was amazing - room was spectacular - loved the option of NO HOUSEKEEPING in exchange for £25 credit on food and drinks. Staff pleasant and the downstairs bar very well stocked and with a good vibe.
It was pricey! But I guess for the location it would be. The room service charge was steep too and the mini fridge didn't really keep things very cold.

Pleasant room with tea/ coffee making facilities. Good buffet breakfast. Good location.
The WIFI was terrible. Gratuity charge that I was not informed about when checking in or out. Teapots should be available for guests instead of waiting for them to be delivered from the bar.

This is my go to hotel love the location and the views from the rooms.
Beds a little bit hard for mg personal liking so didn’t sleep too well. Also they take a hold on your credit card of the room price plus £100. Then next day take the room amount again. Although the first amount is pending it can take a while to drop away. Using up your credit limit. Found this a little annoying.

Nothing unfortunately from the hotel .. Just the new year party , which was organized at 12knot bar by event agency
Most of the hotel stuff is highly unprofessional , we can't feel relaxed and welcomed as guest of 5 star hotel nowhere in the hotel - just in the room . In the restaurant for a New Year dinner was a mess - when we had made a reservation - person in charge from the restaurants said we will have 2 hours for dinner , at the place time changed to 1h and half and everything was in a hurry - quickly eat and go . Anywhere we go in the hotel - outside terrace , bar at ground floor or any other place - there is always someone from security annoying with saying was in allowed and not allowed ... hard to relax in such conditions
