    It was boiling in the room, and you couldn't open the window or turn the radiator down. I mentioned it in the morning and apparently all the rooms are like that. Ideal if you're a lizard, not so good if you don't want to wake up dessicated.

    Staff great, breakfast great, room nice.

    The room was incredibly hot as the heating was permanently on and couldn't be switched off or down. Even with windows open and fan switched on from when I entered the room it was sweltering.

    I had two radiators that couldn’t be switched off. All windows open the room was still too hot. Only one staff member to man reception and bar, not great service.

    Breakfast ok. Staff were polite.

    The room got too hot in the night and couldn't turn off the radiator, and every time we tried to make a brew there was too much limescale from the kettle (teamscum) to make the drink pleasant.

    I liked how it was decorated, the staff were pleasent and freindly andwas clean and comfortable

    Let down by the size of the bed

    • Standard Double Room - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 1 night

    Despite booking a standard double the bed was a three-quarter bed, when queried with the staff they said I had booked a small double but the booking states standard double, so the sleep quality reduced the score.

    Staff were helpful and accommodating, the hotel bar and room were immaculate, if the bed had been the right size it would have scored 10/10 as this was the only fault.

    The double bed was tiny. Should have let card access to get in the front door at night rather than having to wait for person at reception.

    Great central location, beautiful building and very clean.

    Sports Bar is no longer a sports bar open to the public and only open to residents.Infact Sports were not being shown at all as the bill had not been paid.

    The Indian restaurant downstairs is so convenient and very good..The rooms are okay and Staff are excellent. The hotel is very nice plain and simple and breakfast is adequate .

    The suite heating didn't work, warm water took 15-20 mins of running the hot water tap. Parking was hit and miss. Breakfast room was cold and so was the bar.

    Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean corridors and room. Though we couldn't find it on the web, they DO have an elevator ! Moved to a warm room after the first had no working heating.
