Good location but room and service needs improvement
3.0Location. It was also quiet in our room which faced the station. Room quite spacious but we did pay extra for this (executive room).
− Not like a hotel - more like a cheap b and b. However cost a lot more! Room was extremely hot although heatwave essentially over. Windows only opened a few inches. Bathroom in very poor state of decoration. 'Luxury' toiletries were anything but. Smell of mould in room. Mattress cover and bottom sheet not big enough for mattress. No housekeeping - had to seek out tea/milk and toilet roll ourselves. Breakfast very basic.
Enjoyable
8.0The breakfast was fine but i think maybe the staff could be more knowledgeable about dietary requirements, i am coeliac and cannot have gluten. The chef cooked a separate breakfast for me in the end as i cannot have food off the buffet service due to cross contamination.
− Maybe the receptionist at the desk could have been a little more welcoming, she was rather abrupt we felt.
Excellent location for weary traveller. Functional.
6.0Location was excellent. Straight out of station and into the hotel. Bed was comfortable. Fan supplied, very useful in this warm weather. Buffet style breakfast, with good choice, reflective of price charged.
− Lift not working, waiting for part (still in same condition when I returned for 2nd stay 4 days later). The furniture was a bit dated and there were no biscuits on the tea tray (both stays). Unable to move the window. Breakfast not as good on 2nd visit
The most uncomfortable stay I have ever experienced in my travels.
1.0− The room was extremely hot in July, regardless of the nighttime temperature was only 13-14 degrees. The only options were a small fan and a narrow gap in the window that you could open. Outside, a machine was very noisy at night. The shower and toilet were unacceptable. Paying £360 for three nights was not good value considering the poor standard.
Great Location
6.0Great Locations. Friendly lady on reception. Good bar area.
− Lift out of order (not a complaint as these things happen) Room far too warm, even with fan and no air con. Bathroom very dated and not the cleanest. Hair in bath etc
Disappointed to say the least
1.0Nothing
