Stayed before, great location and love the rooms
Breakfast is great and room has everything for a comfortable stay
The WhatsApp “text service” doesn’t work, I requested additional toilet roll, tea and coffee as stayed two nights. Asked at 10am & had to chase again at 9pm that evening.
One pack of biscuits between 2 guests and the worst toilet paper ever, I would just expect more for almost £400 (for 2 nights)
Air con leaked in the night, was dripping onto the floor so had to use the bin to capture the leak as it was 4am & didn’t expect a resolution at that time.
Tv only had 2 working channels, however I did raise this and they advised it might be a loose connection which I then sorted myself.
Fridge wasn’t cleaned out as had previous guests items in there
For the price I just expected more

Good value deal. Easy to get to main areas of interest by walking. I didn’t use public transport but there seemed to be some links nearby. Room was a big size. Large bed. Didn’t have any external noise - I was on floor 5. Wooden (rather than plastic) key card entry. Building felt secure. Quick check in process. Luggage storage on check out if needed.
It ran on the cooler side in the room, I found. Shower controls were on the outside of the shower, sort of hidden by the shower curtain and as someone who is very short sighted when not wearing their glasses this took me longer than it should have to work out/locate/operate. Carpet in my room had a couple patches that looked like stains.

The modern reception area, food & drinks were excellent. They had some great upgrades deals you could arrange direct with The Alan after booking.
A good amount of plug sockets in the room. My room had a window that opened, which is quite rare.
It was a comfy bed & my standard double room was spacious.
One of the lifts to all upper floors where the rooms were was broken, the other lift was very slow. We often had to queue to get in.
Both room keys didn't work at various times so again we queued for the lift back to reception.
The rooms themselves were adequate and only had basic facilities. The room decor was very tired.

Large beds and nice overall decor. Steamer provided in room which wasn't much use, but upon request and iron and ironing board were provided. Staff were pleasant on check-in.
Beds not very comfy, woke up with a very sore neck. Bathroom layout is very cramped and awkward, you couldn't get to the sink or the shower with the door open and had to shimmy around [not ideal for more than 1 person staying]. We were on the 1st floor unfortunately so the room was very dark and got almost no natural light, would request a higher floor if possible next time.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. Great location. Lovely breakfast
Too hot in the room, the aircon wasn't efficient.
The smell of the hand-wash was awful

Excellent location. Cool hotel with really friendly, professional and helpful staff.
The rooms look great but the practicalities/logistics if the rooms not very well thought out.
I had a couple of other minor hitches but the hotel dealt with them so all good.
Thank you for your information!
