Once we arrived we were told they didn't have any rooms available. We then had to take a 45 minute taxi ride to their other hotel and stay in a part of the city we were trying to avoid. Staff was rude.

Hotel was fine. The room didn’t have many amenities for example: hand soap in the bathroom, cups, kettle. I booked for two people and was only given one bottle of complimentary water which is not what you’d expect from a 4 star hotel. I did find that it was quite noisy from other guests coming in and out the corridor. Staff were lovely and the room was clean

Not the room we booked
Like the Marie Celeste when we arrived. Waited about 10 mins before anyone appeared (I was just about to call the switchboard). When we did check in they took ages to seemingly find us a room and when we got there was not the room type we had booked and paid for. Back to reception - could possibly move us the next day. - offered free breakfast on both mornings of our stay for the inconvenience. Next morning no record of them offering the free breakfast - another battle with reception - stock answer is will have to check with my manager. We did end up with the free breakfast which was actually very good. Never moved rooms as didnt fit in with our plans. Apart from check in, reception and communication issues everything else was ok.

We had a noise from the heating systems in our room which were making a teriable noise. At 1pm i couldn't take it anymore and went to reception where they were able to move us, which was brilliant. The room we moved to was really dusy and you had to pay for extra drinking water only being given one bottle for two night ! It was my 40th and when we had drinks in the bar half the drinks menu wasn't available!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We're truly sorry to hear about the noise issue with the heating system in your initial room. It's great that the reception was able to promptly address the matter by moving you to a different room. However, we understand that the new room had issues as well, including dustiness and limited complimentary drinking water.We deeply regret that the celebration of your 40th birthday was impacted by the unavailability of drinks on the menu in the bar. This falls below our usual standards, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.We take your comments seriously, and we will be sure to investigate and address the issues you've raised with our team to ensure such occurrences are minimized in the future. We value your patronage and would welcome the opportunity to make it right.

The main smoking area is also the entrance to the building. Checkin took longer than usual, only person manning reception could not check someone in, and had to find someone. I don't mind a little wait but it was also fiercely panic attack inducingly hot. The room was tired with many bodges evident. Not one usb charging point. Desk is hard to use as the kettle has been placed in a draw taking up most of the leg room,.not good for a business traveler. Plus point, it was quiet and the shower was good.
