 While there will always be a continuous need for staff training it felt like work in progress and as though when we approached the Reception Desk we didn t really want to interrupt the induction of new staff Breakfast was good but the service was a bit slow despite it being quiet when we ate and not very informative We chose the Full English which was 12 all in including toast and coffee but our bill for 2 people was 30 not sure why and were in a hurry when checking out and so didn t query it 
 The location is excellent especially if like us you booked it in conjunction with a show at the Barbican It s modern and smart and clean and the bedroom while cosy was very well designed and equipped The Housekeeping staff were very friendly and welcoming and obviously did an excellent job in the rooms
