For the price I paid I was very disappointed with the room. It was sparsely decorated bland. Poor toiletry selection no biscuits. Breakfast was also very average. Shame because I bet in the past this was a lovely hotel. Staff were also rude especially when o arrived back from a night out. Won’t be stopping again

After reading some bad reviews I had no issues. Welcomed at check in, room was clean and tidy. Looked to have been refurbished and all usual facilities including a fan needed during recent heatwave. Noisy late at night and early morning but city centre so can’t complain.

All good but it should be said that the door security at Bar Rogue which is part of the hotel needs to be reigned in somewhat as his manner towards female and trans patrons is below the level that is be expected, it was bordering on abusive to some and reports where made to the hotel reception though nothing was said to the doorman involved.
