I had a terrible experience at this hotel. Over a 4-night stay, the bed sheets were never changed, and there was no room cleaning at all — not even basic housekeeping in the morning. Towels were not replaced, and despite requesting it, toilet tissue was never provided on the third day. The room lacked even a basic telephone, making communication with the front desk difficult. To make matters worse, the receptionist was rude and unhelpful when we raised these issues. Overall, a very poor experience. I would not recommend staying here.

The property has lots of public transport options . But the main highlight is its staff. I was greeted by hotel staff Kate who was so lovely. I had some medical issues and she went above and beyond to check me in early and made sure my room had the necessary facilities to keep me comfortable. Such staff deserve a medal for their excellence

Functional but not luxury.

Fine functional room. Bit tired looking but clean. Bathroom has an actual bath and shower curtain with mixer tap. Air conditioning not adjustable, heater either on or off, no temperature control. TV probably 20 years old but full set of Freeview available. Kettle with coffee and tea supplied. Lift can take a while to arrive as heavily used. 12 floor hotel. We were on the 9th and the view was great over to the west. One thing to note is that the hotel seems to be a hostel for fast food delivery operatives and there are loads of the bikes chained up outside with many of the operatives kicking about the hotel. Make of that what you will. Didn't use the bar or restaurant so can't comment on that. Check in was fine but the ragged piece of paper we received with our key card and room number felt very low rent.

Not so good, the toilet was unflushed with you cn guess what in it. The room was so basic. No fridge. It is the first hotel I have been in with no fridge- ridiculous. Will not be recommending it.

In principle, everything is good, enough for one night. The beds were large and comfortable. The downside was that you couldn't open the window and there was little tea - only 2 tea bags.

The cheapest around but still not worth it

Room Service is only applicable to stays greater than 4 nights. No air con or fan, nor did the windows open more than a few inches. Temporary issue with restaurant being closed due to refurbishment but overall pretty uncomfortable stay with no food or drink options available, no room service or housekeeping during the stay.

Could do better..

On the availabilities for a bar and restaurant. None. Breakfast was available but not a pleasent experience when staff members are arguing and swearing at each other... all because the eggs were finished and no one took away the banemarie and bring more for the residents... the apple juice was so watered down it was the colour of apple but tasted of water. The milk and coffee satchets in the room was out of date... bit of a shambles really... One bright spot... A fan was provided in the room and window open but secure as the room was very hot.
