Check was smooth, this is the second time we have stayed here so it good for an overnight stay. Shame the lift wasn’t working but was only on the second floor thankfully. Bit disappointed with breakfast as you could tell the eggs had been sat there for a while. Any staff we encountered were friendly and always live an express check out.

Staff were lovely but the hotel is in a bit of a state of disrepair. The room was clean, with ironing board and iron, kettle and big TV. We had a room on the Cosmo Place side, so it was fairly loud until all the bars closed.

When we arrived on Saturday the only lift was out of order and not being repaired until Monday. We upgraded our room before we arrived and were informed it was on the 6th (top floor), no offer to help carry our luggage up the stairs 6 floors. We were out of breath and not very happy with the situation. The junior suit we upgraded to was small no desk, grubby and requires refurbishing. We asked to be moved back to a standard room on the lowest floor possible, they managed the 2nd floor. This room was tiny, double bed not much bigger than a single and desperately needs a refurb, every floor board was creaking and the whole hotel just smelt of disinfectant, not very pleasant.

Room was clean and spacious but the flag pole outside kept clunking in the wind so disturbed our sleep quite a lot. Housekeeping also knocked every 20 minutes from 9.30am despite check out not being until 11am so we felt like we were being rushed out.

The first room was large but had a double and a single when we booked 3 singles and we asked to move due to all of the damp on the walls. We moved to a smaller room which was fine but still only set up for two people with towels, cups, glasses etc

Room was clean but the bathroom a bit on the small side as access to shower was slightly restricted. The room itself was adequate for a standard room.

Location of hotel great. My room was in good condition and clean but my son’s (which had not been updated) was a bit dingy. General decor a bit faded, which will probably account for the building noises at 8am each day! Only one small lift which was out of service for a while one day. Not good when you’re on the 6th floor. Had a problem with my shower on the first day but in fairness it was sorted out quickly. So, all in all, a comfortable base at a reasonable cost in a great location.

Everything was in good condition, however there was a noise problem. The room had single glazing and was noisy. That was a cobbled pedestrian street behind on which a bar was open late, then produce cages were rattled up and down the street quite early in the morning.

The staff were absolutely brilliant but the bed was uncomfortable. The room was cold and the main reason was that the radiator was blocked by the bed.

Nice hotel. Only stayed for the one night hence why our room was very basic. No complaints, you get what you pay for. More than sufficient for 1 night.
