Great little bijou sized room, warm and cosy, nice and central, perfect for an overnight stay for a couple, taking in the n’osais event at Benn Hall, a mere 8 minute walk from the hotel. Staff were friendly and the room was spotless, with all the amenities you’d expect for a very reasonably priced and atmospheric hotel.

The main problem with this property is the lack of a lift and accessible rooms. It is very convenient for the venue I go to so I just have to struggle with stairs.

Nice hotel in a good location. The main areas of the hotel are good except the corridors and staircases leading to the rooms which are tired and dated. The room itself was a good size with a really nice bed. The only negative regarding the room was the movement sensor light in the bathroom. I personally don’t see that this is needed. If someone went to the toilet in the night the sensor would turn on the very bright light which stayed on for around 5 minutes afterwards.

The customer service was great, and the cleanliness and general order was on par with most at this price point. They were accommodating of us bringing a pet, even if this did come with a non-advertised charge. However, I booked this stay in preparation for a very important interview day, and found myself consistently disturbed by the quite audible noise from other residents and the alleyway below, during the nighttime and daytime. I would attribute this to rather thin walls and no soundproofing measures on the windows or doors. I was woken at 5:15am to the sound of a large vehicle and smashing glass, most likely the local council just doing their job, but this and the other noise really dampened my stay. It was also noticeable there was some clear staining on the ceilings and a partially unattached toilet seat. Overall, not great, perhaps good?

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
the rear room was fine, but the window was single-glazed with '60s louuvre ventilation which let in all the noise - traffic from warwick street and hilmorton road, and loud bottle and rubbish collection at 4am. there was no advertised times for breakfast. their website says their rooms have "Flat screen, digital TV with over 100 channels plus you can cast from any device", but for the life of me i could not cast from my phone and there were no instructions on how to. also, the tv guide function was a couple of hours ahead, i.e. at midnight it seemed to think it was 2.30am. scrolling through the guide was pitiful. in the end i had to be content without the tv altogether. i asked to see the ballroom, which the duty manager was pleased to show me. it stank of air-freshener which to my mind was to mask a worse smell of mustiness. the bed and linens were really comfoetable, and the en-suite was excellent. but you gotta do something about those wndows. i just don't buy that yiu can't do anything about it just because it's a listed building.
