Staff were all very nice, room was nice and big. Clean, breakfast was nice but couldve been a bit hotter. Pillows were like slabs of concrete. But we had a lovely time and will definitely be back. Good access to town and quey side. It was not free breakfast as indicated on survey, we had to pay £12 each if booked the previous day, which we did. Party of 4 people.
When I checked in, I was told my room was on the 4th floor but what they failed to mention was when you get out the lift at the fourth floor you then have to climb a further two flights of stairs as the room is actually in the roof. This wasn’t and issue for us but may be an issued for anyone with mobility difficulties. The room itself was tired looking and generally clean, However the bath was stained (there had obviously been water left in there at some point) and several hairs. This in itself wasn’t a huge issue.
The real issue began when we returned to our room after attending the New Year celebrations on the Quayside. The hotel is situated in a busy part of town and as it was New year we did expect some noise. However, the single glazed window in the room offered no protection at all from the noise which was unbearable and made it impossible to sleep. To make matters worse the room was freezing cold, and we could not get warm. We eventually decided in the early hours we could take the cold and noise no longer and packed our things to leave.
As we approached reception the young man ask if it was the street noise bothering us so I explained yes but also the freezing cold temperature. He stood looking very sheepish and made no effort to try and rectify the problems, so we handed in our keys and left.
Never have I stayed in a hotel so bad I had to leave in the middle of the night so the next day I emailed the hotel to which I received a reply say its was New years eve so not
