Every staff member was pleasant and understanding. The hotel's position was great, right beside a metro line. Plus, we stayed at a walking distance from The Cavern Club.
Shame the bathroom was not clean.

Thank you very much all for a pleasant stay for 2 nights. Attentive staff, they showed us spa area. The breakfast was more than adequate and extensive with fresh bread, cheese, omelette and frequently replenished. The location was central, amazing to far away from main attractions. Found time to see Bournemouth Beach, that's within a close distance from the property. Appreciated our stay, and can recommend the hotel.
