The room was spotless, staff were very welcoming and accommodating. When checking in we were told we’d for a free upgrade to a room with a nice view, which was so unexpected. Stunning view of the old town and the castle.

We had a comfortable stay. The room was a bit smaller to what I thought I would be getting. The WiFi was not secured. We parked at St James Quarter for 3 days and it was £45 with the discount. The staff there were friendly.

Clean, nice hotel with a good breakfast and perfect location. You are in the heart of it all at a reasonable price. Room was a bit tight but what you would expect in a large European city unless you want to pay luxury prices or stay further out. Staff was great

Staff/Booking/Communications I booked directly through Expedia for this stay. No issues were encountered on arrival and staff graciously accommodated my early arrival and were quite friendly. They also helped me with a WIFI connection issue, as well as directing me to where to grab an airport shuttle bus. They were always pleasant when I passed by. Accessibility of Facility I was able to take an elevator up to reception and was given a room on that floor. Aside from moving through a fire door with my clunky bags, I found the facility overall easy for me to navigate. YMMV with mobility devices. Shower was step in. Room For the pricing and location, this room was alright. I constantly struggled to enter my room due to an apparent faulty maglock and informed staff on departure. The room shows age/wear and could use a refresh. The toiletries were not great. I left behind conditioner and they claimed I left nothing so staff pilfered it/threw out an expensive silicone travel bottle. Temperature control was not great – I prefer a cool room and the options were freezing or oven, with no in between. I woke up repeatedly, miserably hot. Staff movement in the hallway in the morning also woke me. Do not recommend lower floors for light sleepers. Bathroom/Toiletries Toiletry quality was very low, bring your own. The shower had decent water pressure and good room to navigate/bring out belongings. Area Safety/Features/Location The hotel was centrally located in a prime area!
