We stayed here for 2 nights and booked a Superior Double Room.
First impressions were good, and it is an easy 5 minute walk from the train station.
Nice roomy reception and a lovely friendly receptionist called Lisa who told us everything we needed to know. She was really helpful.
Our room was on the 8th floor which we were pleased with as we knew there would be no heavy footed guests above us.
The room was ok, nothing special. On looking back at the website, although there is a range of rooms with varying prices, they all seem to be the same. So I’m not sure what a ‘superior’ room has that the others haven’t?
Anyway, first night hardly slept at all as the people in the room next door seemed to be slamming their room door every 5 minutes as they went out for cigarettes! This went on until way after midnight. I went down to reception and reported it, and to be fair a security guard went and had a word with them and things quietened down.
Worryingly, when I spoke to the female receptionist about it the next day (Saturday), she said it was a city centre hotel and was busy so we had to expect noise at night! Not a good advert for the hotel.
We then had breakfast, which was great, really nice, and for the 2 of us was only £14!
The next night we slept ok, but I did notice that although the room doors had ‘closer’ mechanisms on them, unless a guest manually held the door to prevent it closing too quickly, they all slam. Management need to look into this.
