    People working here was very kind and helpful. Had some problem with water but they worked it out. Location is not bad but I had to walk like 20 mins to places I wanted to visit. Breakfast was delicious.

    The noise outside. Unfortunately not the hotels fault, road works all day and on a busy junction. Windows had to be opened as it was 26° registering on the room thermostat even with the windows open, fan provided which helped a bit thank you. Would stay again but maybe when it cools down.

    Loved the location, staff were fantastic, very welcoming and helpful. Very comfy bed.

    As my room was on the first floor, I could sometimes hear the voices of the people passing in front of the hotel on the late hours :(

    The rooms are exactly like the photos, they are newly decorated and so clean. The staff was very helpful and kind. The location is very convenient. The breakfast was perfect.

    A very minor thing: Bathroom light has no light switch. It turns on/off by movement sensor and it takes to long too long to turn off.

    Great location, good breakfast, friendly staff. Room is above pub, but noise is minimal and closes at 11:00 promptly.

    Only thing we didn’t like was the noise from the bar (Very loud quiz competing with the music that was on). It did stop at 11pm, but as we were tired we retired to our room at about 8.30 so it did spoil our relaxation. Would definitely go again but would ask for a higher floor.

    Price was lower than I thought it should have been given the room and facilities that we had. Excellent staff and excellent accommodation and breakfast!

    There is no lift so you have to carry your bags upstairs (mine were heavy!)

    It was a little hot overnight. If only we had turned the radiator off. The room (Rathbone) was also in the small side but still great value

    Location is great. It’s exceptional value with a good breakfast included. Comfortable with good facilities

    The check-out detailed on booking was 11am, but upon arrival was informed it is now 10.30am, which was disappointing. The breakfast is small - 1 of everything wouldn't be filling for an average person. You have to pay an extra £3 if you want another key card so have to share between the two of you and the electricity is tied to the key card. This seems very unreasonable - all parties should be able to gain access to the room they have paid for. It's very dusty under the bed (discovered after dropping a hair bobble) which was a bit off putting. The doors have to be slammed to shut which means you hear most movement of other guests - at whatever time they come back or move around!

    The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was generally clean, spacious, and comfortable. The food was good and had big portions. There was a fan and air conditioning in the rooms which were much appreciated. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room.

    Hairdryer was missing from the room and my it was just my bad luck but I had the Shambles Square room and in the morning the noise coming from the generator was very annoying.

    Room was very nice and clean, location was very close tot the city center and easy access to everything. Breakfast was very good.
