1/1 found this review helpful

Just back from a one night stay, booked via Lastminute. The hotel is centrally located, initial impression was good and the staff on the desk were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is easy to find and the room was clean, large and well equipped. The hotel pool area was nice and quiet with a jacuzzi (hot!), pleasant sauna and steam room. When we left this morning, the carpets in the reception area were being ripped out and replaced. The bar was lacking atmosphere and we hadn't booked breakfast, so can't comment on the food, but the receptionist recommended a fantastic chinese restaurant around the corner called Dragon I, where we had dinner last night and the cafe next door, Hula, served a wonderful breakfast this morning of(amongst other things!) french toast with bacon and maple syrup.

Good location. Room Ok, bed and bit hard and pillows foam and uncomfortable. But oh the noise on a Saturday night. Hotel has wedding parties and the noise from the disco travels up to at least the 4th floor. Then of course there's the shouting and door banging until after 2 am as the party goers come to bed.

Avoid as the hotel obviously gets enough money from weddings to not need to worry about other guests. They did move us to a higher floor but by then it was after midnight. We had to be very forceful to get a reduction when we checked out the following morning. There can also be long queues for breakfast and for reception.

Hotel is a bit 'tired' in places but this was more than compensated by friendly, helfpul staff and excellent breakfast buffet - one of the best I have had. However the mattress I slept on should have been condemned - can't remember when I last saw a mattress with sprung springs!! Left appropriate feedback, mentioned it to our travel rep and wrote a letter but no follow up from hotel so far.

  • Liked — Good food and friendly staff
  • Disliked — Comfort of bed (or lack of it)!

We stayed here before flying out on our honeymoon. The hotel was very clean and nicely decorated. teh room it's self was nice and big with a very comfy bed with lots of room for two people.
The overall hotel was very nice with nice breakfast the pool area looked good aswell but didn't try it.

The room service food was very disappointing and wouldn't eat it again.

Stayed here for 2 nights (Fri & Sat) for a girls weekend. Spacious room & very clean with comfy beds. Great location near the centre but not too close to hear all the noise from the pubs and bars - although the road traffic noise was a bit loud for us (on first floor)
Service was great - from the receptionist to the porter /concierge who recommended and booked a restaurant for us and housekeeping who kept us supplied with a hair dryer and lots of tea coffee and milk supplies.
Nothing special about this hotel, but decent and good value for money and a great location. We would stay here again.
