Hotel is comfortable but a little sterile with little to entertain you. Food is ok but very pricy and after a few days the menu gets very boring. Big problem though is the noise! Hotel currently has building works which start before 8 and end after 6 despite hotel stating it won’t happen that late. I also had this all day on the Saturday and Sunday when I stayed. No advance notice of the works on this website before booking and no notice of the works posted in hotel or on the emails sent before my arrival. I suggest to avoid this place until works finish and indeed suggest giving it a miss until it improves its general ambience.
