Honest
Hotel in a central position, which has positives in that it's easy to get to, but the drawback is that you hear people as they leave the pubs, bars, clubs etc. I still think it's worth it though. Especially with their connection to The George Hotel

Checked in okay and the people at the front desk were lovely. The main building looked very nice and was done up well. I was in the part across the road which didn’t look as nice at all. Getting in was all fine but when I entered the room, there were bright green stains all over the floor, marks all over the walls, the toilet seat had a stain the whole way around it and there was hair EVERYWHERE…the more you looked, the more you found

Great location. Terrific value.
City-centre location excellent though ear plugs essential on a Saturday night! TV remote control needs replacing as some essential buttons didn’t work. A mattress topper would have helped the comfort level. Lovely firm mattress and super-king bed but with a king duvet inside a super-king cover, which was annoying.

I was disappointed as this was a deluxe room and cost us more money, but wasn’t as nice or as spacious as the room I had, when I stayed there previously, and that was just a double room. Also had a large balcony but with broken slabs and no table and chairs to sit on Also the fire alarm went off and woke me up, and I didn’t really know what to do. It went off for about 5 minutes.

The facilities are old, and no air conditioning in the room. It’s muggy hot without air conditioning.

Good hotel.
Quick and smooth checkin, room as one would expect, clean, tidy with simple amenities, comfortable bed. Noisy revellers if facing the high street on a weekend if there is to be one fault.

4/10 Fair

Whilst the room was clean and well kept, the lack of air-con in the room made for an awful night sleep as the room was stuffy and uncomfortable. We were supplied a fan which did absolutely nothing to help unless you pressed your face up against it! My partner even had to get into a cold shower at 5am just to cool down. I would definitely recommend the hotel investing in air-cons for the rooms as it was not a pleasant experience at all which was a shame!

Got into the room and the walls were pretty dirty. The shower door was difficult to open/close. In the summer, we had to call up for someone to bring a fan and hair dryer to the room. I thought these would be essentials in the room already? No AC which made the rooms absolutely sweltering. Service was good however when asked for the bits, they came within 5/10 mins.
