Great location, awful hotel

The only good thing about this hotel is its location. We had a top floor room, good check-in (but £30 a night for parking!) . Room had cobwebs, half painted, door to bathroom needs looking at and shower control coming off the wall - should not be available until finished. We had breakfast included but didn’t go the second day. Staff dismissive, slow, unfriendly and clearly didn’t want to be there. Food very cold, no proper coffee for a 4 star. would also question the security. We could get in via 2 doors (one nowhere near the reception so anyone could walk into hotel.) If I was a single traveler this would really concern me. Overall a very disappointing stay.

Almost there, but room for improvement

Hotel was well located. Rooms wee clean but not very clean as a few marks in bathroom. Could hear the next rooms TV and could hear every move from the room above us. Lots of choice at breakfast, although quality of food not the best. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a nice stay, but not amazing.

A bit of a walk from city centre. The size of the room is decent and very clean. However, there is smell coming from the bathroom when coming in. It was very clean though. Luckily we can open the windows, doesn’t feel claustrophobic. A bit of a noise from the road and buses, but it was nice looking outside rather than having a window looking at a wall of the next building. I had a good sleep. A big tv and a portable fan/heater provided.

The rooms were large and spacious. Some bathrooms are larger than others in terms of showers. The rooms are hot in the summer but fans are provided. Great location and very walkable to all tourist highlights. I would stay again!

Overall: Underwhelming for a 4 star hotel. You are really paying for the location. Staff were helpful and friendly. The lobby was well kept. The hotel, at least my room floor, was not as well maintained for a 4-star hotel. My room had no aircon (knew this when booking, so be aware), luckily in the evening it wasn't too warm, but quite warm during the day. Location of the hotel is very central (main draw). The room was fine, but expected more for a 4-star hotel. Some plug sockets didn't work. Bathroom was large for a Single-Bed room. Hand soap wasn't refilled. Bed was comfortable. The iron had a lot of burnt residues on (completely unusable), which housekeeping replaced after chasing up directly with them. Unfortunately, one of my neighbours had issues and kept opening and closing the door. As the doors didn't have slow or soft-closing, the door was slammed continuously for around 20 mins after midnight/at 1am. Could also hear the conversation between the hotel guest and hotel staff. This made it difficult to fall asleep.

Awful room. Extremely hot. There were 2 fans but still it was so hot and stuffy could not sleep. Veronica the manager was not sympathetic at all. Just said sorry. It’s obvious an issue they have all the time - one member of staff told me but management fail to do anything and just have complaints from the customers from rooms without aircon ( half the rooms do). I’d completely avoid as I had no sleep and management don’t care.

The staff was kind and accommodating, checking me in a little early. The room was smaller than I expected, but that's fine. It was very hot, no A/C in the summer, but there was a fan. I had a hard time sleeping because of banging noises all throughout the night and into the wee hours of the morning. Very convenient and walkable location.
