The breakfast room impressed me with its lovely setup and diverse food selection. Our room was close to museums and the tram stop. The staff even surprised us with some champagne on our last day, very kind. I found the location amazing, with a beautiful building in a lovely part of the area.

Really good Museum Quarter Stay

rich breakfasthelpful staffair conditioning
The breakfast was really good with nutrient-rich options available at 7 AM. The staff stored my luggage both before check-in and after check-out, very helpful. I found the staff gave detailed information about getting around to the airport. The room was very clean and the shared areas also maintained high cleanliness standards.
I noticed there was no air conditioning in my room, and during warmer weather this caused some discomfort during the night.
