    Room was facing side street but pub across the road and people standing outside talking at 1:00 am. Staff emptying their bottles into garbage very noisy too. Rooms seemed to have thin walls as we were woken at 3:00 am with loud arguing that I had to report to reception which they dealt with. The area had people sitting on the hotel steps drinking & smoking. A few homeless sleeping outside shops.

    Close to train station, shops, pubs, trams & buses. Staff very helpful.

    The hotel feels dated, like it could do with a good redecoration to freshen it up. The room temperature was way too hot. There was a fan, however. Cleaning staff were exceptionally noisy outside our room. The water temperature was insane, I scalded my leg and foot in the shower.

    The location was great, the staff friendly

    I was displeased with the room's worn-out appearance. The hotel rooms require refurbishment to bring them up to date with modern standards.

    The receptionist was friendly and checked us in smoothly. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the station, but for a bit more money, you could opt for a more modern room in a different hotel. Although this was the cheapest option available at the time of booking, the cost is still high considering the rooms' worn condition.

    The shower was quite tricky to use, either freezing or too hot so quite temperamental and stiff dials but to be expected with an older building.

    Lovely staff and great value

    The room was a little faded, but otherwise clean and comfortable. The WiFi was really patchy, I had maybe one or two spots in the room where I could get a weak signal.

    It's a really great location, right by one of the big stations and within walking distance of the attractions. The staff were really friendly and the check in/out was really quick and easy.

    Configuration of bathroom. The door position needs investigating. Fortunately it was a single bedroom. The shower taps are very awkward to use. If you had a problem with your grip they would be difficult to turn.

    Location and closeness to amenities and Piccadilly station. Nice friendly and cheerful staff. Very informative and polite. An excellent breakfast was served it was substantial, fresh and tasty.

    The room looked very tired and dated, with a hole in the desk and enamel coming off of the bath/shower, while there was also a slight dip in the bathroom floor so when we checked in, the floor still had a small pool of water from where it had been cleaned. Lightning in the room consisted of one desk lamp and one up lighter lamp, would have preferred more light. There are only 3 plug sockets in the room, with none being near the bedside cabinet. As the TV and kettle are usually plugged in, it leaves little option to charge electronic equipment.

    Great location, friendly staff

    Our room was just next to the Rat and Pidgeon and this Friday night when we stayed the loud music inside the pub went on til 2am in the morning so we didn't get much sleep!

    The room was ok and comfortable but the curtains let in some light at night as they wouldn't fully pull on.

    Stayed a Thursday night and Friday night . The Friday night even though we were late getting back after a concert , the noise coming from a bar across the street from the room did keep us awake well into the morning also noisy very early in morning with what sounded like refuse lorry and a delivery lorry . If you can sleep through noise then your fine

    Room had everything we needed , we didn’t have the breakfast so can not comment on the food . Location was perfect , close to train station , trams , taxi rank right outside .

    The hairdryer was dated. The room was very noisy as it was facing the street, not so much the traffic but with people screaming and shouting at 4am. The windows couldn't be opened. There was also a lack of power points and none near the bedside.

    The hotel was in a good location near to the town and the trams. Good free service to the Co op Arena. The room was large and comfortable, extra pillows if you needed them. Nice bathroom with bath and shower. Staff were helpful and the breakfast was good with a good choice of food
