The room was very clean, the staff were very pleasant. The only downside was the extreme heat, we did not seem to have anyway of turning down the heat in the room, as well as the hotel generally being over heated. Also they're was very strong scent in the Repton and corridors

Really good property. The location was really good with many attractions on walking distance. This was important as I was only there for a weekend. The executive room was really big and had all the amenities. The view was to a park and national theatre. Breakfast was ok. I didn’t do any other meal. Staff I dealt with were polite and helpful. I would highly recommend

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years and haven’t been let down. Everything from check in to check out has been great- friendly stuff, generous breakfast, room condition e.t.c. The restaurant downstairs is awesome. And, last but not least, location. The hotel is situated in the heart of the city at a walking distance to tourist attractions and government offices.
