Guest reviews
Very good
Liked: Location
Disliked: Staff, breakfast, loud music at night
Liked: Swimming pool & Bar on the roof top
Disliked: Prices level for the additional services could have been delicately less
A Ok with room for improvement. Not all of your guests are going to be young students
Liked: I like that they are very conscious about how much water is used in showers, etc. However, I found the shower floor to be extremely slippery. I did not fall but I can understand how someone could and that could also end up in a lawsuit. I did mention this to management and was told they follow the guidelines provided to them. When I was at the Radisson Blu in Manchester, they had a shower mat rolled up and held by a rubber band to use in the shower. I think this would be a very small investment on behalf of this property to insure there are no slip and falls in the shower.
Disliked: My fridge didn't work. I was "upgraded" a room and that fridge didn't work either. Who signs off on these rooms before making them available? My bedside lamp also did not work. The prongs were bent and couldn't fit into the holes.
A wonderful stay, where we were warmly welcomed into a fantastic setting. Thank you to the team
Liked: A unique venue that combines a hotel, coworking spaces, and student housing... all in a remarkably well-equipped setting that fosters a sense of community where people come together. Amazing amenities, including several dining options and a beautiful rooftop pool...And above all, a team of very attentive and incredibly helpful professionals
Disliked: Nothing to report
Liked: Great location, room was very clean and comfortable, staff were very friendly kind, breakfast was nice, rooftop bar and gym were fabulous 🤩
Liked: Fab location and vibe. Great communal spaces
Disliked: Tiny room
