    Staff was a mix. Some really friendly (breakfast staff) others less so (reception). Our room was a room designed for people with limited mobility. When giving this feedback at reception, the "friendly" receptionist suddenly went 'cold' and shrugged her shoulders. The website pictures can be misleading. Overall it was only OK which makes it expensive for what it was in our case.

    Great location Good breakfast

    The metal teapot had in insecure lid and spilled tea when pouring. I had to get another teapot. The staff were most helpful in this. We were frequently asked if everything was satisfactory, it was, but every staff member was asking. I counted 7 times asked at breakfast . Good to see this, but perhaps if this task was allocated to 1 or 2 staff members, it wouldn't be so irritating.

    Breakfast was excellent. It catered for every taste. Staff were in constant attendance.

    I really didn't like that there is a coffee machine at breakfast but we were not offered to order a proper coffee. We were given bad, bitter filter coffee where we both wanted a double espresso. I also really dislike when hotels use powdered eggs at breakfast instead of fresh eggs. I know it is cheaper but it makes all the difference for the guest instead of having rubbery eggs. There's also a terrible smell near the bathrooms for all guests on the first floor. This was on the way to our room so it drifted down the hallway. I assume it's from the plumbing which probably cannot be helped but it doesn't make for a pleasant experience. Finally, while I appreciate the discounted parking, please don't advertise that you offer parking when you don't actually offer parking.

    The location is excellent! I also really appreciated the discount for parking. I like that they had both shampoo and conditioner (small detail) and grooming kits in case you forgot anything. The bed was mostly comfortable. The breakfast was decent.

    Overall liked and would come back. Just some small areas that did not meet my expectation but things can not always be perfect Got missed for ordered breakfast and had to go find someone to order. Ordered the avocado on toast was not good needs to be made simpler i.e no salad or salad on side, fresh avocado without to much mixed with it avoid soggy bread. Maybe one sun dried tomatoes or a fresh one. Other breakfast bits i tries were lovely. Better communication for the parking. never got the voucher for reduction on booking out tho mentioned on booking in. needed more toilet roll in room

    Deco friendly welcome and good service in the oyster bar

    Room was very warm and the people in the room next to ours were very noisy early in the morning. Walls are thin so it woke us up. Also wasn’t enough shower gel and was hard to get water temperature hot in the shower.

    The breakfast was beautiful. I usually don’t eat breakfast at hotels but there was so much choice. The hotel was absolutely stunning and all staff were so friendly. The bed was super comfy and the location was perfect.

    We were in an additional annex at the side of the building but it was fine. There was limited choice at breakfast with most food gone by the time we had got down after 10am. No sausages, no beans, no tomatoes. On the positive side, the staff were kind in looking after us with tea, coffee, toast etc

    The location in Eyre square is amaxing - very historical building. The staff on reception, at breakfast and room cleaners were all friendly and helpful. The foyer is very grand and even had a grand piano.
