Disappointing

The major issue was we booked a Deluxe Room, Queen Bed primarily because it was an air-conditioned room – this was a deciding factor in booking the hotel as opposed to alternatives in the area. When checking in we were informed we had been upgraded to a King Bed room and dropped off our bag before heading out for the evening. On returning to our room however we discovered that it had a fan, but no air-conditioning – by this point it was quite late in the evening already so we made do, but we were very disappointed that having spent over £200 for an air-conditioned room we didn’t have this. Additionally, we noted the following other issues in the room: - Backlight on TV broken on lower half of the display giving a very dark image - Bathroom door lock broken - Cramped bathroom layout – the shower particularly was hard to get in and out of. I’ve seen better bathrooms in rooms costing less than £50 a night. We raised these issues on checking out and were given the managers email address. Thus far over a week later we have received no reply.

Was there for my sons graduation and stayed for two nights . Hotel , staff all fine except and might’ve been my fault was the size of the rooms . I’m 6-3 and had to crawl from the foot of the bed to get into it and luggage had to be placed under the dressing table. But in general a good stay and I would stay again

Properly run hotel

Very good properly run hotel - front desk staff who are friendly and helpful and know their stuff. Lovely architecture - if you like the sixties. Big comfortable room - no air-conditioning so got a bit hot but 5 stars other than that.

Good hotel and good location

Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. Room was quite small and air conditioning was very noisy. The bed had feather pillows which I find very uncomfortable. Overall though, a good hotel with good amenities in a good location. Would definitely stay here again
