It’s location
Stairs, lots of stairs. For people with limited mobility or completely handicapped, it would be exceptionally difficult to manage. Also, they refused to accept my green Amex card although they would accept a gold or titanium Amex. They were exceptionally rude about it and even when I put Amex on phone to explain there really wasn’t any difference to the property as far as me using my green card they still refused to accept it.

Its location and the carpark nearby with the discount was great
There was a lot of street noise all night and we were on the top floor. It was hot up there so the window needed to be open. Earplugs helped the second night

Check in went smooth. Loved having my luggage carried up and down the stairs
Our room had porthole windows. It was very hot and very noisy. There was only one unused electrical outlet and it was on the floor by the door. Not convenient at all. Bar person could only make the drinks on the menu. I ordered a cosmo and I don’t think there was any vodka in it. We ordered shrimp scampi in the restaurant and got shrimp nuggets. There was no scampi

Noisy overnight because no double glazing but it’s an old building so you expect that

It's very Central and near the Bus and Train stations and the Airport Bus.
The Lift broke down twice!!! After a serious discussion, as we were on the top floor, we were begrudgingly given a small discount, which we gladly accepted.

Great location!! Loved the restaurant and bar area!!
The elevator/lift was broke most of the time I was there. I was on the 6th floor and had to walk up 6 flights of stairs when the elevator was not in use. I chose this hotel because they advertised an elevator/lift. It made it very hard to appreciate the hotel due to the issues wth the elevator/lift not working.

Convenient location
Room was extremely small and the only window was a sliver, which looked out onto the fire escape and construction. Not really what id expect for £300 a night
