    The toilet was tricky to flush. Staff said it’s just the property. All are like that. Figured it out. Sometimes it worked first time and other times had to keep trying.

    Great location so close to city center. Walking distance to about everything

    As above

    Great hotel with a large staircase. Check in was at 3 and we were a bit early, thought we would get a drink but the hotel bar doesnt open until 4 so we went elsewhere.. then at 4, it still wasnt open. We upgraded to a suite, 2 televisions, one remote control which didn't work, comfy bed and the extra room was good.. shower was good and decent shampoo etc.. following morning, breakfast, not the best if I am honest, full English ordered, obviously cooked fresh but it took a long time and the bacon and sausage were not the best.. staff throughout the stay were very good, polite and attentive..

    Bedroom was a little dated and shabby. This was probably why the room rate was heavily discounted. Ok for the price, but would have been disappointed if we had paid full rate.

    Great location and good value for money. Public areas of hotel were well kept and clean.

    The whole hotel was really hot. The window in the room didn't open far enough to let in any fresh air and it was propped open with a coat hanger. But the heat was the same in all of the common areas too. Although the rooms were nice, there was a few cosmetics that needed attention. Peeling wallpaper, missing wheel on one bed so it was uneven and a hole in the carpet. Breakfast took 20 mins to come out. The eggs were freshly cooked but it was clear that the rest of the breakfast was precooked so shouldn't have taken as long as it did.

    Rooms and hotel nice and comfortable. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was tasty. Location was great right in the middle of history and entertainment.
