Great spot on St Andrews Square
A quick 4-night stay after a business trip. The bar is great, food is great (Wednesday was half-price steak night), staff were fantastic. We’d stay here again without hesitation!

Very comfortable and stylish hotel with a good bar and excellent breakfast. My only mark down is to reflect the very dim lighting in the room and bathroom - brighter please!

Lovely Hotel and staff. Only stayed 1 night - only thing i found was we were on level 1 and room was fairly dark maybe a 'bright' lamp would be useful if needing to see better

Great room and location
Great stay, the room was huge, as was the bathroom, so plenty of space for 2 adults and a cot. The only downside was when booking for the 3 of us, with breakfast included, it doesn't include the childrens breakfast, which we only found out when checking out

Fix the lights
The hotel in general was good, location decor etc but the lights in our room kept breaking. A known issue that was a real pain.
