We love the Room Mate hotels and the Gerard didn’t disappoint. The staff were all so friendly, the property had a roof top terrace that we used twice to unwind at the end of the day. We included breakfast in our booking and it was delicious. Cheeses, meats, vegetables, fresh fruits, yogurts and a selection of hot dishes plus fresh bread and pastries. We were happily surprised to be upgraded to a room with a balcony when we checked in. The only slight disappointment was the “fitness centre” which was a small room with some dumbbells and cardio equipment. I opted to pay a drop in around the corner at a fully equipped gym - plus we walked everywhere. The hotel is centrally located and very walkable.
