Hot box rooms

Room was completely fine but the central heating unit was broken and the room was an absolute sauna. A small portable air con was in the room but it was beyond useless. When I got help to see if anything can be done, I was advised that the hotel was fully booked and unfortunately nothing could be changed. Understanding this was the case, I was told that the hotel would contact me first thing the morning after to discuss remuneration in some capacity but as you can tell from this review, I am still yet to hear anything from them. While I understood not much could be done about changing rooms given the full hotel, the lack of communication afterwards has turned me off here moving forward. Lucky no more.

Stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely stay. The room was very clean and newly renovated. Very friendly staff, great location! One thing to note.. the room I was staying in was facing the main road so there were traffic/tram noises throughout the day and night.. however the noise isn’t as loud once the balcony door is shut.

This is an interesting hotel. Has a great bar and the restaurant pub food is excellent. It has new bathrooms; is opposite the tram stop. It is refreshingly old compared to a sterile modern hotel but may not be everyones cup of tea. I.e. no wardrobes, ironing board etc.
