The location was perfect. We are directly on the high street and had access to shops/bars/clubs/food. For the value, the hotel room with clean and well presented. The room was spacious and we liked the quirky decor.

Access locked at night. Card needed to operate lifts so limiting freedom of movement. No Iron in Room. Laundry Ironing Room several floors away from room. Ironing board rusty. Iron dirty and limescale stained. No hanging facilities in Ironing room for hanging clothes whilst ironing. No other furniture in ironing room (shelving or a folding table or stool (as I have bad knees and back - would have aided my comfort whilst ironing). Soiled towels in bathroom. Rusting fittings in ensuite bathroom. Soiled shower seat. Dirty crustations and stains on shower seat. Lack of sympathy and solution / resolution from 'manager' when reporting the issues I had experienced.

Security guard at night needs to be more alert on who enters reception/bar and monitor situations especially with non staying guests. They should deal with rowdy/boisterous situations to maintain a relaxed chilled atmosphere.
Good distance to train station. 24hr bar and snacks/ pizza. Clean rooms, comfy beds. Friendly staff.
