Booked a twin room for my sister and I. As with most twin rooms the two beds were pushed together (surely you’d just book a double if this is what you wanted). As usual, pushed the beds apart to give a bit of space. Room was remarkably hot given it didn’t appear to have heating. The aircon/heating unit was broken. Reported this to the front desk and was told that this was because “of a change of seasons”. I’ve heard some BS in my time, but this was a new level. Commented that I’d stayed in the same hotel at the end of Sept and the aircon worked fine. Was assured it would be looked at. Returned from dinner/drinks and nothing had been done. Window was still propped open. Aircon still didn’t work. Nobody had been to the room. Given the hotel was north of £110/night, booked many months in advance, functioning aircon should be the least that can be expected. Final thing (room 309 for reference), is that the toilet door could only be closed by slamming it. Handy for 3am in the morning…… I’ll not be staying here again.

The bed was comfortable. No AC so you have to often keep the window open which is often very loud. TV was non functional. WIFI connection was barely usable. One day awoke to a student band playing in the courtyard. This is in an area where throngs of drunk students are extra loud on Friday and Saturday also. Shower drain backs up to fill the entire bathroom. Would never stay here again.

When i book a room with a double bed in i expect a double bed not 2 twin beds pushed together. Due to the layout of the room it was obvious this is the standard set up and I therefore have to assume that all of the double beds they offer are the same. To make it an even more uncomfortable night's sleep the matress was about 5cm thick. This combined to give me one of the worst night's sleep i've ever had. Sure the location is good but spend more, save your back and improve your chance of a restful night

Excellent hotel. Only complaint would be the bed. Asked for a double, which was two singles together, but they didn’t stay together and we were constantly having to push them back together which was a little annoying.

Assigned Accessible Room and Tired Bathroom

Stay was fine. We'd been put in an accessible room. I was a little surprised having booked far in advance and I would have appreciated being told at check in. The room, in particular the bathroom, looked pretty tired.

Very poor experience - dirty, smelly, overpriced

On checking in, the bedroom smelled absolutely horrendous. I don't even know of what but it was awful. Reception kindly moved us to another room. However the towels were dirty and found a pube on one, the sink plug hole was grubby, and in the morning found there was no shower gel in the bottle. We did get replacement towels when requested. However between the issues, and the gloomy decor, it did not feel at all worth the £160 pricetag for a Thursday night. Would not return.

Bad initial impression but room was clean.

Disappointed when checking in to see a guy sitting on a bench with no shirt on. Initial impressions were that he was homeless or a drunk guy. I may be wrong on both counts but it made we seriously wonder if this was the sort of establishment that I wanted to stay at. Room was clean but decor looked like it was designed by a child.

Good location for my business trip. Room is nice if a bit dated (Artex on the walls). The breakfast food is fine but the space is the most cramped I have ever experienced in the UK. They need to do more to make the experience less stressful. Extending hours to 6.30 am or earlier would help. Posters in the lifts warned that it would be busy from 7 AM - 8AM. Sure enough, as soon as it opened at 7 AM, the place was packed.
