Unique and stylish rooms with great service
Service was great and friendly. The rooms were very stylish and not feel like a typical hotel room that I visit for business.

Having stayed here previously and love this hotel I booked a Balcony room for a special occasion. The welcome from reception was quite cold, was informed at 3pm the room still wasn’t ready and on expressing disappointment it suddenly was and was informed they were short staffed. The tv didn’t work and had to ask for assistance which involved staff member having to come into the room and climb on the desk to try and get it on which thankfully she eventually managed to do. The ash tray on the balcony was full of cigarette ends and hadn’t been emptied from previous guests. The tea and coffee making facilities were very limited for a £200 pound a night room. The Bistro was closed which we weren’t aware of, may have missed the notification but the stay made me feel like I was an inconvenience rather than a welcome guest. Will probably think twice before returning.

There's no doubt that a lot of care had been taken to give The Velvet a premium feel and the little balcony was a lovely bonus. However there were a couple of things that were a bit lacking and one serious security issue. When w arrived we were told by the very nice woman at reception that the system had gone down and that she would need to unlock the room for us as the keycards weren't working just now. Fair enough. Half an hour later she arrived with the presumably working cards. It wasn't until the next day and several trips out and about that we realised that the door hadn't locked when we closed it behind us, leaving it available for anyone to nip in and grab anything of value! When we told reception they didn't seem at all worried or surprised but offered to lock it manually for us. Not re than a bit worrying. The room was lovely but there were some cobwebs and a helium balloon in the rafters from another guest. The pull cord on the heater for the balcony had also snapped and we had to stand on a chair to switch it on. All in all, despite the security issue and the other issues we had a pleasant stay but wouldn't return until these things were sorted.

What an amazing trip!
Everything from pre-arrival to checkout was fantastic. Any questions I had after booking prior to stay were responded to indicates and the staff were extremely helpful. The fact we were able to check in at 12pm which was before the stated time if 3pm was a great touch and on the morning of departure , we messaged reception to request an hour later check out which was granted. The room itself (Penthouse suite) was unreal and the arrival package I had requested for my partner was laid out just as I wanted it to be done. Best hotel room we have both ever had and great value. 100% will be staying again.

Watch your bank card
The hotel itself was ok. It was clean and comfortable but they have taken £88.70 from my card without my consent. I have raised it with them and I have been told it will take 7-10 days for them to refund me my money. Not good enough.

Xmas treat
Location was spot on, so easy to find and get to from the station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Checking was hassle free and we were offered a glass of fizz on arrival! Our room was amazing very clean and modern with views of the canal and at night it was really quiet. We popped into the hotel bar and lounge it was lovely, the decor twined with the hotel next door and the staff were super friendly and chatty. Would highly recommend I wouldn’t hesitate booking again.
