    The bed seemed very small and the room was very hot at night, although the radiator was not on.

    Perfect location for shopping, bars and restaurants. Room was nice and the bathroom was very nice. A good shower too. All staff we met were friendly. Sally, on reception was exceptionally nice.

    Very comfy but found the additional cost for breakfast too high should be included in the price.

    The windows are the old sash windows which haven't had extra glazing on, there was a draft from them, we had to wedge the curtains around the windows, also the central heating ( radiator) was in a timer, they came on very early morning then went off before you got up, we didn't stay for breakfast because of the price, we went around the block to weatherpoons.

    The room was very modern and had been recently refurbished. The bathroom was spotless.

    There is a car park at the back of the hotel where you cannot park. There is a car park fairly local which is pay and display. I rang the hotel period to us arriving and the person who answered the phone said they had an arrangement with one of the car parks for a discount. Unfortunately this no longer exists.

    Great location

    £17.99 for the breakfast was extortionate and unrealistic. We got breakfast 5 minutes walk away for a ⅓ of the price.

    Staff were helpful and friendly. The location was perfect for our visit.

    Flush system was a bit weak as we need to do 2-3 times where only once is required. Cleanliness is great, towels gets changed daily, tea sugar milk stocked daily too.

    Indeed a very good place. It is the best place in winters especially because rooms remains warm because of concrete walls. Everything was perfect.

    Heating was on a timer so the radiators turned off during the day and night (only came on for a little bit in the morning and evening) as we stayed in Decemeber this meant that it got very cold.

    Staff were excellent, very accommodating and more than happy to help, we even got upgraded which was a lovely surprise. Fantastic location. Room and view was beautiful. Made for a great stay.

    The bath might be more comfortable. And I do not understand why the key should be always left within concierge. Otherwise is very good and convenient.

    The location is great. Bed is quite comfortable. The bath is OK. Restaurant is very good and it is just downstairs. It is citi center.

    No supper or cooked breakfast in Dickens's hotel.

    We were disappointed to find that supper and cooked breakfast were unavailable. These had been high on our list of reasons for choosing the hotel. Why the kitchen was closed in the run up to Christmas was not adequately explained. Had Dickens, a former guest, returned to the hotel he would have summoned some choice words.

    Friendly welcome. Pleasant room.
