Charming stay

room size helpful staff hotel towels

The room size REALLY surprised me. It was bigger than expected. The staff helped my friend with a wheelchair using the stair lift. They were available and very friendly. The hotel provided towels in the room, i did not expect that.

The window did not stay open without propping it with a pillow. The curtains did not shut properly. Therefore, i had too much light in the room. The tv signal was weak. I was informed that the aerial was busted.

Dining

9/10

The bar is conveniently located just a couple of stair flights down from the rooms. I ordered a chicken burger with French fries. The food was quite good and handy.

Facilities

The location has good value for the money. It is a ten-minute walk to the city centre. The metro is just five minutes away, so it is convenient for travel.

Rooms

The double room was super comfortable. IT had all the facilities I wanted. the room size was great. The bedroom and bathroom were clean. Lots of shower gel was available.

Location

The railway station is only ten minutes away by foot. The Monument Metro stop and Grey Street are four minutes away. I found the location very central. It was perfect for my needs.

amazing pressure great touch double room

The room had a TV, and I could easily connect to my personal subscriptions. Included fresh linens and towels was like a plus (I booked a double room just for myself). The shower had amazing pressure and temperature. (The included shampoo and soap were a great touch!).

The floor had what was like rotten floorboards in the middle as there was a huge dip in the floor next to one of the beds.

mixed experience due to service issues

sarcastic staff missing hand towels

the bathroom was acceptable.

the check-in and check-out times are poorly planned with check-in at 4pm and check-out at 10am, a late checkout was paid for until noon, i was still disturbed by cleaning staff at 11am. when i informed them, they were sarcastic when asking if i planned to stay another night. there were no hand towels provided in the bathrooms either.
