Location wise its good as its near the canal - not on the canal though as we had expected. You can hear the metro running under the building - we were on the first floor so maybe higher up you couldn't hear it as much. Receptionists really helpful. Reception area very small - didn't find it appealing to stay there for breakfast. Outside of building is pretty grim though - bordered up windows with plastic sheets which were filthy so not inviting at all. Once inside ok. Room good size and good value for location.
