    The bed didn't have proper pillows but what appeared to be duvets stuffed into pillowcases, which make them rock solid and not comfortable. Also it was very noisy, the door to the corridor let in all the noise, so was woken up many times during the night

    Great central location Staff super friendly and helpful

    Room was facing a very noisy taxi rank and lots of noise from people walking by. Curtains needed a clean. Spills around the tea making area hadn't been cleaned up.

    Location is perfect for a night out. Nice large room and comfy bed. Fridge and safe in room. Complimentary bottles of water. Shower clean with no mould. Nice hot and powerful shower. Pleasantly surprised.

    This hotel had a very slow lift, if your bags aren't too heavy I'd recommend finding some stairs instead. The lift probably took around 3 to 7 minutes to arrive to our floor. There didn't seem to be anyone else using the lift but it still took a considerable amount of time. The bathroom also had a weird stench at some points akin to coronation chicken. But it did go away

    Booked a last minute balcony room and I wasn't disappointed. The hotel itself is very pretty, the reception has soft velvet chairs and the staff at the desk checked us in just before checking time. The bed was soft and the room was lovely, it came with complimentary bottles of water and a mini fridge. The balcony itself had a decent view and was convenient for my boyfriend who vapes.

    Room was tiny and not as expected. The bathroom smelt of cigarette smoke.was told that they would drop the parking fee from £20 to £6 but it was not the case. I went to the car park and was charged £20.

    There were quite a few issues with cleanliness and issues around the room. Bathroom door completely warped and no lock on the door. Balcony door doesn't necessarily have a secure lock.

    We booked for a balcony. The staff were friendly. Room large and spacious.

    If you’re not bothered about feeling welcome and you want a clean place in the city centre then I’d recommend.

    Staff member that checked us in wasn’t welcoming at all. Just ‘hi, this is your key, how do you want to pay’. It just felt dead, not a ‘feel good vibe’ in any part of the reception, bar or rooms. Silent and uncomfortable. The lift which you have to use is also very small and very slow.

    It’s clean. It’s pretty nicely decorated and located really well in the city. Bed was comfortable.

    Staff’s answer from night time shift - it was raining really bad when we returned to the hotel in the morning - around 6am. Called reception to ask for a hairdryer - was told i can only get it in the morning. I had to sleep with my hair quite wet which i absolutely hate as i wear long hair extensions. In the morning, the daytime shift receptionist got me the hairdryer in 15 seconds from a storage room situated on the same floor with the room we booked. It was therefore bad willing and laziness from the nighttime receptionist, who simply did not want to move to go and bring it to me

    Great location, right in the heart of the city centre with easy access to all shops and mall

    Rooms are quite compact so wouldnt be great for a long stay but ideal for overnight break. Noise wasnt an issue but might be for some if you are expecting to be off the beaten track.

    Rooms were clean and modern with a very central location and discounted parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ideal for a night or two away - would stop there again.

    The walls are so thin and ppl can hear u

    Clean, as shown on the pictures, it’s nice even tho walk way is weird having to take elevators but it’s fine I guess genuinely a good place but the BIGGEST PORBLEM IS THAT THE WALLS are thin and u can hear everything and ppl can hear you and it’s the only problem everything is so perfect.
