10/10 for this hotel
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had another brilliant stay at the Ellison Hotel! This was our second time staying here and it definitely won’t be our last.
The staff are absolutely lovely and so friendly – I genuinely can’t praise them enough. The hotel is spotless, the rooms are brilliant and everything is so clean and comfortable.
The location is also so handy, especially being able to walk through the tunnel straight over to the Royal Theatre.
We had a fantastic stay and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend the Ellison Hotel!
