Value for money hotel. Perfect location close to city centre. Kind and friendly staff. Room was very small with a view of a brick wall but ok if you just wanted a room to sleep in. Clean but could do with a little more attention the detail in places. Very comfortable bed and good shower with nice toiletries. Room also had a fan, fridge, kettle which was useful. Good breakfast selection, issue with hot food was quickly resolved when highlighted to staff. Overall it was good value and I would stay again.

The first room smelled as if someone had smoked. I asked for a room change and I was immediately accommodate. The staff was professional. The room where I stayed was clean. As you enter the property there was a smell of toilet, which not the best welcoming sign.

David

Disliked: Amenities
Paying more than £200 for a midweek one night stay, you have certain expectations. The room was nice, the bathroom modern, the staff at check in very pleasant. We arrived during a heatwave. The room was hot (the thermostat said 26 celsius / 80F). We tried adjusting the air conditioning to cool the room, but it didn't do anything. There was a powerful fan that at least moved the air around, but no cooling. The windows were all sealed shut, even though the hotel is in a historic building and they should have been openable. Thus we sweated through the night even sleeping with the fan on and without using the comforter. The room was no cooler in the morning although it had cooled off considerably outside. Additionally the wifi was pretty poor (rhere was an option to buy better) and the coffee was Nescafe sachets. These are the kinds of things I expect in a £60 hotel room, but not in one costing three times as much.
