Noisey

The staff were super helpful & efficient. The condition was as expected for the cost. However the noise in the room from outside kept us awake as the windows are so old. The window is not double glazed & didn’t close properly. They need secondary glazing installed if it’s too costly for new windows. Also there are no sockets either side of the bed & no usb sockets at all. Room 305

Staff were all welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was perfect, lots of variety and fresh. Rooms were very small but clean. Communal areas were modern but rooms could do with some updating. Paint was tired and curtains were damaged. Noise from the road was very distributive, even with the windows closed. We had a standard double bed but the bed was a double divan so actually smaller than a regular double.

Genevieve on reception was so warm, cheerful and welcoming. She was just what I needed to make check in painless after a long day of meetings. Room and facilities are fair value for money and position of hotel means lots of places to eat and drink close by however, street was Very noisy until about 1 am

I liked the second room. The first overlooked a noisy street. The desk gave me a quieter room, though, and that was much better. Overall, the hotel is nice.

No room at the Inn

On arrival at the hotel we were told that there wasn’t a room reserved for us. We had to move to the sister hotel. What is the point of booking if it is not honoured.
