    Excellent location, stylish and comfortable with friendly staff - good value.

    It can be a little noisy on the Pantiles. Breakfast not included, so a fridge in the room would have been handy, but the staff very kindly brought up fresh milk on request.

    Perfect location on the Pantiles, stylishly furnished, very comfortable bed, helpful staff and good value. When it turned out I was struggling with stairs to the 5th floor due to an injury, the staff not only helped with my luggage, but found me a very splendid room on a lower floor for the second night, and honoured the original price.

    Hotel & staff fantastic. Restaurant giving themselves a tip on top of the bill is really not polite.

    The ‘optional’ service charge in the restaurant did not sit well with me. What other industry awards itself a bonus (apart from banking & finance)regardless of of the service provided. A tip should be earned & not expected. Relying on people’s decency by not deducting the add on is tantamount to emotional blackmail & is a practice that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

    The bed was very comfortable & the bathroom was superb. Hot water on demand &

    Had to battle with the over officious security to get into hotel due to jazz night and they tried to force me to wear a wrist band. Need different method for guests to access/leave hotel during the jazz night.

    Excellent location, efficient friendly staff, great value.

    No lift in the property so had to walk 7 flights to get to my room. Room was very small so was grateful it was just for me. Bathroom although okay was very tiny. No spare toilet roll left in the room and less than half on the roll. Messy wires and very dusty. No surfaces to be able to put anything out Restaurant was actually in the reception area which was odd and not very cosy for a meal Breakfast was not included so felt that was expensive for room only. During breakfast all I could hear was a staff meeting as they were only feet away which I felt was inappropriate to hold within earshot of guests to be talking about other guests and what was planned that day

    Perfect location. Bed was comfy

    Stairs!!! Lighting in our room was dim. Tiny bathroom.

    All staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. William assisted carrying suitcases to our room as there are many stairs and no lift. Location is excellent, close to many options to eat out. Hotel dinner for the Pantiles Jazz night was delicious. Paid parking was easy and close by.

    Room very small and there was very limited storage for clothes - if you were anything shorter than 5ft 7 then you wouldn’t be able to hang your clothes in the wardrobe as it was too high up - no English breakfast tea bags in the room good job I had my own ☹️☹️

    Beautiful room over looking Pantiles. There was a private party with DJ on floor below but we barely heard it. Our original room allocation was on 3rd floor but we were given the option of an upgrade to a room on the 1st.
