Expert reviews
“This former church is a longtime favourite for its decadent decor and plush lines. Stylish rooms with mood lighting have a dark, brooding tone and opulent furnishings.”
“Nothing orthodox about this former Greek Orthodox Church, transformed into a stylish modern boutique hotel in a city centre location. There’s a lively lounge bar, excellent brasserie dining and a casual bar.”

Overall great hotel and location was excellent. Staff couldn't be more helpful.
Staff on arrival and throughout stay were incredibly helpful - easily arranged for us to store baggage etc there as our room wasn't ready when we arrived early. When we came back to check in that afternoon the lady at reception was lovely and as our room wasn't ready she arranged us free drinks in the bar until she came and found us. She also took our suitcase to the room for us so it was there for us when we got in. The room was lovely, really spacious and great comfy bed. Would be better if there were plugs by the bedside tables as this is always handy but not the biggest deal. Unfortunately our bathroom was a bit dirty when we arrived with a few stray hairs left around (yuck). But we spoke to the lady at reception again and she arranged for it to be cleaned so can't fault the service at all.
Cleanliness of bathroom let it down a little - had to request that it be cleaned again.

Very interesting building although quite a long walk to the centre shops etc
The physical look of the building
I woke early and wanted to read but you couldn’t have lights on by the chair without a spotlight being on the bed

Good location and great staff
The staff. All were very helpful, friendly and professional. Good location, great bar and really nice breakfast
Our room was dark. Also, we were offered an Eco option of drinks at the bar in place of our rooms being serviced but in hindsight we would have preferred to have had our rooms lightly cleaned as we were here for four nights and it meant keep getting supplies from reception and using our towels to dry our used coffee cups and making our own bed whilst on holiday!

Wonderfully warm welcome from the receptionist. Bar staff really friendly, efficient and professional. Lovely relaxed bar to sit and have gorgeous cocktails in. Had lunch the next day - top class service and food. All round outstanding service from start to finish. Good location for city centre - 5/10 min walk from the hustle and bustle.
The dark grey room decor not my taste and I found it a bit gloomy along with the lighting but personal taste so not an issue.

Exactly as we needed.
The room was fine, bed was fine, room was warmer than we would have like and we could not see any way of controlling it but we were out most of the time so lived with it.
As noted a bit warm. We went for the eco option so our room was not cleaned while we there. This was fine but we did notice the bin got full so it might be an idea to provide guests in this situation with an extra binbag that they can place outside their room that can be scooped up as the daily cleaning gets done in the hotel.

Fab staff, lovely evening meal and breakfast was excellent. Room spacious, bed comfortable, linen thread great, Arran toiletries lovely. Location central.
Room radiator had been on full and it was too hot n stuffy. Lighting in restaurant was too dark .. had to use phone light to read menu. But that’s being picky because everything else was excellent
