The hotel and room is still modern but a bit dated and it needs some love. The way the bedding was arranged did not meet 4 star criteria. It's not very insulated so at night it gets a bit noisy because it's a busy area.

Spacious room, nice bathroom, well equiped, location is fabulous and very convenient, staff is amazing.

Was a bit of noisy at night on Friday, but of course we were smack dab in the middle of the city

Great location and very friendly staff. The beds were very comfortable.

It would have been nice to be able to open the blind and let some light in - but it was broken. And the brasserie was not serving evening meals - which could have been useful.

Very friendly/helpful staff

Came with my daughter to a University Open Day. It was just what we needed. A calm and friendly welcome on arrival (after a slightly fraught journey). It's an amazing building with a fascinating visual illusion created by the large mirror on the stairs which kept looking - not like a mirror but like a a hole cut in the wall opening onto another staircase. Our room was spacious and comfortable, perfectly clean, with everything we wanted. A nice chat with three staff as we headed off in the morning - it was interesting to hear a bit about the history of the building and what ABode are doing across the country.

Everything was clean and welcoming. Well designed and well maintained room. The bed was enormous (good!) though a little too soft. A magnifying mirror in the bathroom would have added the cherry on the cake. Breakfast was slightly disappointing for the rather high price.

The atmosphere; would have liked a coffee machine in the room. Thought it was expensive for what I got.

Breakfast and staff at restaurant were fantastic

The room I booked included a single glazed window and was very cold, and the heating had been switched off. The staff however were helpful and moved me to a warmer room.

Great location, very helpful staff, fantastic breakfast

No bedside lamps. Centre light very bright, could do with some other subtle lighting in the room.

Breakfast good and generous but I wished I'd paid for B&B

Air con broke and was stuck on 26 degrees which was unbearable. Unfortunately the windows wouldn’t stay open. And unfortunately the lift had broken, we were told this would only be an hour or two before it would be working again but unfortunately didn’t work our whole stay. For us climbing 4 flights was not an issue however I would imagine different for people who have difficulty mobilising or disabilities.

Property was nice and cosy, nice little touch with a bluetooth speaker which was ideal. Bathroom was lovely, the room was spotless. Staff were really friendly and helpful when the air con didn’t work. Staff mentioned about another room however, none was available to move to. They supplied a portable air con machine, it wasn’t the best but helped slightly and the thought was there.

AC not working and shame the brassiere wasn’t open for dinner.

The room was amazing, just as the pictures showed. Spacious, and gorgeous. The AC wasn’t working - which made it quite stuffy. However we did ask for a fan, and one was bought to us by house keeping. Location was central, quiet, and easy to get to the northern quarter. Friendly helpful staff. We had breakfast in her brasserie which was really good with a great server.

No mirror near a plug socket to do my hair. No mirror to keep drinks and meds cool.

Loved almost everything. Room was huge, beautiful original features, huge bed, huge TV, massive bathroom. Everything was lovely and clean. The mattress was like sleeping on a cloud. And the room was quiet even though the location of the hotel is on quite a busy road. The staff were absolutely wonderful. And the food in the restaurant was devine.

Noise from room above woke me in the night. It feels like rooms with a bar/breakfast area not a hotel as such. Saturday so busy and people spaced out leaning on steps at entrance (not guests) no one told us when breakfast was and nothing in the room about it either. We had paid for breakfast. Whilst I liked the efforts to have individual pieces of furniture with eclectic theme, it was a bit too confused. Drain for walk in shower positioned in the middle which meant water ends up on the floor.

The building and its history, generous sized bedroom and huge bed. Newly refurbished bathroom, nicely done. Some interesting art, furniture and lighting.
