"Lovely hotel in a perfect location, we got a really good deal, so we’re very happy with our stay. We also got 50% off the menu in the chez mal restaurant using the fork app. Lovely food but very pricey without the discount. Would definitely stay again if the price was right. Great hotel car parking opposite at a bargain price of £6 for 24 hrs "
"Avoid 10th floor or anything with a quayside view if you enjoy sleeping as the noise from the roof bar is extremely loud. There is no warning when you book. We had to move rooms as a result. Staff were nice and pleasant "
"Poor attitude from staff to a group of disabled (visually impaired) guests with no reasonable adjustments to check in process. Dogmatic jobsworth staff at reception (though to be fair notably a manager stepped in effectively later and “took ownership” to resolve some issues and find the lost bag). Bag taken by porter to a room unconnected to the group and not found for several hours after a trawl of hotel CCTV. Deposit insisted on in case we used mini bar in the room but fridge broken and empty. Double occupancy couple put in single room and vice versa. Bedroom window propped open by a mug on the window sill (on the fourth floor in a room occupied by blind person) was an accident waiting to kill someone on the pavement outside. Very noisy rooms with obviously no soundproofing. Definitely not a hotel to ever use by any group organiser. "
"Staff refused to let us store food temporarily or use the microwave, saying it was “for breakfast only.” The response was a scripted, corporate line rather than any kind of reasonable customer service. We were travelling with two children under five and simply needed to heat food for one minute in the evening... a very small, practical request that was refused on what seemed like an arbitrary rule.
It wasn’t the rule itself so much as the complete lack of flexibility or common sense. Good hospitality is about helping guests, especially families, not hiding behind rigid policies for situations that would take literally one minute to accommodate. The experience left us feeling unwelcome and poorly treated."
