    One girl on reception (dark hair) very unapproachable, with a terrible attitude to people Also would liked to have been informed that there were long term guests paid by the government

    It was very tired. Britannia had done little to it, they’ve even left the signage from its previous brand, Premier Inn. The extractor fan was on permanently. I was told it was to relieve steam. We checked in at about 5.30pm, and didn’t shower until the following morning; what possible steam was posing a risk all night?? The staff’s solution was to place a piece of paper over the fan. In an enclosed bathroom it is usual to have the fan on for a while after the light it turned off to clear stream, it is not usual to leave it on all the time. This was not conducive to sleeping. Also the curtains wouldn’t close properly as so many eyelets were broken. The hotel needs some attention.

    It was well located

    Room a bit tired. Discoloured grouting in bathroom. Only one very overworked member of kitchen staff who did literally everything at breakfast time. Cooking, serving and clearing. There should have been at least one further person to assist.

    Check in was easy. Staff were pleasant. Buffet breakfast. Comfy beds.

    Breakfast isn't great - bit disorganised and too much emphasis on fried food.

    Very good location for public transport. Rooms are comfortable and reception staff helpful and pleasant on arrival.

    The fire door outside my room was very loud and I woke up each time it was open and closed. There was lots of dust in the room. The heat didn’t work until I went down to the desk and asked them to turn it on

    The staff was super friendly

    The room was cold. It was uncomfortable, the fan was fairly loud as well so it was hard to sleep at times.

    How close it was to the city centre and hydro

    Headboard was full of dirt, so I pulled the bed away from it as bed was on wheels which moved away when you went to sit on it. Shelves dusty. No tv remote but managed to find a button behind the tv to switch it on no big deal but difficult to turn tv channel or volume. Couldn’t put the heating on tried everything but couldn’t get room warmer. Went to bed with hoody on but bed was comfortable and warm enough once in bed. Room quite small for a double.

    Room was basic but bed was comfortable. Lots of mirrors which is good for getting ready for a night out. Hot water and clean bedding and towels. Iron, hairdryer and tea and coffee in room. Quiet just the odd door slamming in the corridor which usually happens in hotels. Taxis are good.

    The room was freezing. Only after I went back down to the reception did the receptionist get her I pad out and switched the heater on. Surely in a stormy wet day in the middle of January the least we can expect is a warm room.

    The breakfast was ok, not all the food was hot.

    It is an old premier Inn... it is definitely not of this standard. The toilet paper is in a dispenser with 1 sheet at a time. Air conditioning didn't work and the heater was on - but the windows did open so it didn't get too warm

    You get what you pay for.

    The 10am check out was tough, could possibly be moved to 10.30 to allow customers time to comfortably pack up or freshen up before they leave.

    The staff were very polite and really helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them, room was clean and basic, very good value for money.
