2/10 Poor

Functional - but not nice

Bed had collapsed mattress - hotel had overwhelming smell of smoke on upper floors - sofa in room had foam internals showing - sofa in room had cigarette burns on arms - bathroom floor grout had been painted… poorly because it’s dirty - bathroom has unacceptable amount of human hair.

Beds in rooms were awful. Hotel being renovated. Carpets were ripped up and renovation in rooms were very noisy early in the morning. Staff were very pleasant.

Lovely surprise!

What a lovely surprise to find the foyer, bar and restaurant all refurbished. Feels amazing as you walk in. They're still in the process of doing the bedrooms, but even though ours was not done, still lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager. It was a delight.

Great Hotel

Very impressed. The hotel's main areas have been refurbished to a very high standard. So light, airy and fresh. Put a smile on my face as I arrived. They are in the process of updating the bedrooms, but even though ours wasn't done, it was lovely, clean, comfortable and the bed was really comfortable, with good pillows. I had an excellent night's sleep. The staff were really helpful, especially the manager. We will be back.

8/10 Very good

Loved the quite room, sturdy floor and decent bed. Dont need to mention the hall and lift as I am sure they are on it. Lift was turned off in the morning and there was no clear signs to the stairs.

2/10 Poor

This hotel has been done up nice rooms, went to get a drink from bar at 2130 to find it shut four to having lots of trouble in there drugs etc, went earlier next night to find it was completely shut even restaurant for a party event, the hotel feel unsafe as they have lots of residents there hanging around smoking weed arguing till early hours I even saw one of them letting a dog out there car boot for air then putting it back in the place felt like a ymca

6/10 Good

Booked a Twin room,have normally stayed in a Double. The room was very small and the single beds were very small.!! Like Caravan single beds. Did not sleep well at all.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed at this hotel before over the years, room was lovely, paid for a deluxe, shower in the bathroom was a disgrace, hardly any pressure, you had to hold it, mentioned when checking out and they said were aware already!!! Breakfast was disappointing, cold food, cold plates, had to ask for bread for toast. Think it might be used at present for homeless. Receptionist was lovely and friendly. Foyer area has had a refurbish and very nice.
Alison, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

We were particularly disappointed with our room. The bathroom had cracked and broken tiles, towel rail torn from the wall, extract fan not working etc. The single beds were the smallest single beds I have ever experienced, dressing table was very badly stained, chair was covered in crumbs or particles of whatever, decor extremely poor, tv had only one channel we could access. For the costs charged we would have expected a much higher standard
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

On the outside the hotel looks amazing, the reception and restaurant to. The front of house staff were great, friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely but the room it is in appears to be a little make shift, as if it is something they only thought about. The rooms and room areas we a lot different. The rooms were predominately clean and tidy, but with issues. The furniture is very dated, with draws that dont open properly and just looks very different to the polished reception. When we arrived they was a pile of dirty linen left on the floor in the hall way, and was still there the next day. Not a great look. At one point the lift was broken and they appeared to spend an amount of time looking for a member of staff to reset it, just ring a repair man! H&S would have been better served by a qualified elevator repair service than Joe from back of house. On one of the mornings it looked as if someone had been sick on the front steps and it took a little while for that to be cleaned. I think for £100 per night, they need to up their game a little. Would i stay there again, I dont know. I do need to finish that the staff were very good and approachable.
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean room, staff was excellent, I was welcomed with a smile. I love the space of the room.
Green, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lady with curly brown hair on reception had a very poor attitude very abrupt and not welcoming in any way. No advice i.e. internet code etc just heres your keycard! Couldnt get in my room as keycode looked like two 66 but apparently were two 55 hand written. Had to go back down to reception were again was looked at with distain but fortunately the more receptive blond lady helped me out. Room was tired in need of full refurb especially bathroom. Hotel in general looks like it needs full make over with staff that understand customer service basics!!!
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel and staff

Staff friendly and very helpful. Room was a bit warm as it was a humid day. Reception got us a fan for the room. Was very clean and comfortable room and very quiet and peaceful sleep. In the morning we had breakfast the lady we spoke to was amazingly helpfully and hospitable. Made sure we had everything we needed and even had a lovely chat with us after we finished. Great service and breakfast. Will definitely stay again.
