Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, but unfortunately, the heating was on instead of cooling during the hot weather. The staff, particularly Joanne, was extremely helpful and friendly, making my stay more enjoyable. The location was convenient for accessing the center and restaurants, but public transport from the main station was a bit tricky. The dining experience was poor with limited options that were not tasty. Overall, a decent stay with a few ups and downs.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, although it would have been better if they were checked before bookings as I discovered some faults later on. The service was generally friendly and helpful, particularly in the breakfast area, but there were some issues with topping up breakfast items. The location was pretty good, just a ten-minute walk from the New Street Station. The dining experience was varied and good, but there were some hiccups with missing items and limited hot drinks. Overall, it was a nice experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a good finish in the rooms and the service was professional, but there were issues with temperature control in the room and the staff's directions. The location was ideal for some and dining options were satisfying. Assorted fruits were a highlight.
The hotel has bright and airy rooms along the walls in the main room with an iron and ironing board and a comfortable bed. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the room, though the price could be more competitive. The service at the reception desk was really helpful, especially when we arrived in the early hours of the morning. The location is accessible to all city center attractions, close to the train stations, and just a short walk from the pubs and restaurants. The dining experience was a bit on the poor side with slow replenishment at breakfast. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, offering easy access to everything I needed, from shops to concert venues. The service, while mostly friendly and helpful, had a few hiccups with staff behavior. The dining experience improved from day one but still had some issues. The rooms, however, were not fully prepared for the number of guests we booked for, which was disappointing.
Upon arrival, the room was quite hot, and there were cleanliness issues under the bed, but we were moved to a better room on the 18th floor with no window with the air conditioning not working, however, the staff provided a fan. The bin in the room contained food that wasn’t ours, which was not pleasant. Despite these hiccups, the temporary heater in the room was not ideal.
Upon arrival, the room was freezing due to the air conditioning leaking, but the staff quickly offered to move us to a new room. The hard core condensation was a sign of poor room condition, which was disappointing. The service was exceptional, despite a minor hiccup when staff members blocked the breakfast area briefly. The location was convenient for both walking and accessing the city center, and the breakfast was delicious. The dining experience was satisfactory but required an early start. Overall, the hotel offers a great location and friendly staff, featuring a decent dining selection and enjoyable breakfast.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for exploring the City Centre, although the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options. The facilities were well-kept, offering a comfortable retreat during my visit.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the location was ideal for me, close to the city center and within walking distance of major areas. However, the room initially had issues with noise and cleanliness, although the staff did address them promptly. The dining options were standard, but nothing exceptional.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were way smaller than last time and quite dusty, the space was good for a family of three. On the bright side, the room was excellent, nice, and quiet. However, cleanliness and sanitization were concerning, especially during these times.
My stay at the hotel was quite challenging. I had to change rooms twice due to a lack of heating, which made it very uncomfortable. The staff seemed unprepared for our group size despite our booking confirmation. On the positive side, the location was perfect for our needs.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms offered beautiful views of the A38 Queensway and motorway networks to the north, and were nice and spacious with a comfy bed and a nice bathroom and shower. However, there seemed to be some issues with the air conditioning which made the room cold at times. The cleanliness could have been better, as I noticed stains in the bathroom and the room was quite chilly even with the heating on full blast.
