Stayed for 3 nights Feb 2025. Hotel is in a good location for access to the centre but there is a lot of building work nearby including the new stadium. Drop off parking bays are available for 5 mins but no hotel parking. There are a lot of paid for parking options nearby. Breakfast is provided as a credit for the cafe within the hotel but we found this was a good option. Would like to thank Layla on reception who helped with baggage and was always willing to answer our questions. Plus she has a lovely smile!

We enjoyed the location here and the staff were friendly. However we stayed a Saturday night and the music from the rooftop bar was pretty loud in our room until after 1am. We were on the 5th floor. Sunday night didnt hear anything so pick your days to stay!
