We have stayed at this hotel a few times and it’s always been excellent. Unfortunately this time we were at the back of the hotel (station side) and the music from bars and club close by was a bit loud until 3am so had interrupted sleep

Poor nights sleep

Our room was stifling hot, the air conditioning would not switch to cool and we were instead given a fan at 0230am as we’re told there was nothing they could do about the aircon at this time. The fan cooled the room but was then very noisy. Ultimately we got limited sleep. The manager in the morning stated that the air con was set to winter mode and would need estates to change this. The room was also very noisy as was at the front of the street. I respect that this noise is not the hotels fault but we should have been advised and given opportunity to request a quieter room. Overall a poor experience

Hotel is dated which is not an issue I’ve stayed here 3 times and each time the heating in the room was not working. The room was like a fridge, not very pleasant for winter or cold months. I even added a note requesting to have a room with heating working which was ignored. Wont be staying here again.

A very comfy bed. A few big cobwebs around, but that didn't bother me. We would however liked to of have tea bags, sugar, milk etc available. All we had was coffee pods for the coffee machine, nothing else as an option. Cooked breakfast wasn't great, ran out of items, and a £5 surcharge for anything else cooked other than porridge or full English. Continental was nice! Staff were very friendly, and the building is beautiful. Location fantastic. Right opposite the grand central.

Beware room 216. There is some kind of machinery outside while emits a constant irritating whine, the sort that makes sleep difficult. To the hotel’s credit, they immediately sorted another room for us, and didn’t charge for an up grade. Thanks to the night receptionist, Kyan, for this. Otherwise, everything ok!
