Perfect if you dont care about room standards
I have stayed here quite a few times and this was not the best stay I had. Staff that I interacted with where friendly. However, requested twice for a top in the morning while cleaning service was about. They went into the room but didnt top up the tea and coffee station. Asked again for these when i saw it and still nothing. At 11.30 at night had to take my child out on a horrible night to get milk from a local shop and they wanted some tea to help them sleep. Also requested for dust to be cleaned off the wall lights as it was effecting my allergies. Again, this was not done, despite the clearers been in the room.

Hot water off for one night and one day with no communication from staff to customer to let us know that we could not wash, shower, bath in warm water- discovered this ourselves first thing in the morning and phoned reception about this to let them know- they didn’t tell me even at that point that the whole hotel was experiencing the same problem due to a fault in the system. We were offered to go to a sister hotel to use their facilities for showering- totally inconvenient for people with limited time on a stay over. Early communication could have helped.

Great location in the city centre ,close to bars ,restaurants and shopping , bed was comfy ,breakfast was good and for the price paid Cant really fault it .Only downside was free hotel car park was full as hotel was fully booked ,but multi-storey next door anyway was £12.50 from 3:00pm to 10:30am Suggestion move the toaster away from the hot breakfast buffet, You have to join the queue for the buffet just to get toast ,could be relocated to solve this

Learning a lot!
Couple stay. The room was spacious and comfortable however there didn’t seem to be any way to regulate room temperature.bathroom tired and could do with updating. Lovely river view. Really convenient location within easy walk of all the City’s attractions. Recommend walking the walls, tower museum, the pubs and coffee shops on Waterloo st. Decent breakfast, usual fare. Be aware the nearby Exchange restaurant and wine bar only serves drinks if you are eating there - we called in for a cocktail and were basically chucked out after one drink! Licensing rules apparently but it’s not clear when you go in. Overall loved our visit and learnt a lot. It’s a great city.
