Been to this hotel a few times over 15 years, sorry to say the rooms are a little tired. My room door door needed slamming to activate the lock. Bit warm and being city centre didn't get a great sleep outside noise and banging doors.
Staff fantastic and breakfast and bar really good
Great location, nice rooms and great amenities. Spa is a treat

Staff were amazingly polite and welcoming. Room was clean and with plenty of room. It was quite loud so bring ear plugs but would definitely stay again!

Good standard of room.
Great central location.
Helpful staff.
Let down by noise from outside of drunks fighting and waste bins being emptied in the early morning.
The overall hotel was fine and it’s in a very good central location, but there were a few issues that made the stay very uncomfortable. The room was extremely overheated even in February to the point where we had the window open constantly for 3 days and the fan on overnight to sleep. I woke up with a migraine after the first night which happens when I get overheated when I sleep which ruined the second day. The pillows were hard and lumpy and the spare soft pillow was like a tissue it was so flat and I also woke up with a sore neck. The shower was lukewarm at best no matter how hot we turned it up.
If you like a warm room and hard pillows it might be the hotel for you though!
