10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is located within easy walking distance of public transport. The room was comfortable and generally calm. Reception staff and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. The gym is really excellent. Certainly one of the best I have used, well provisioned with excellent equipment, water, apples (a really nice touch) and towels. The only complaint is that we had to ask for the room to be 'refreshed'.

The blackout blinds could be better on the street-facing side of Oxford Road, which can be busy with 2am revellers. However, the room was clean, the shower was good, the bed was comfy, and the staff were helpful and kind.
