The car park is quite far from reception and all the signs don’t really make sense. Check in was handing me a key after having to call a mobile number that had been left on the desk. No further information like how to get to the room and breakfast. Room was really far away and I had to carry lots of personal items and was a struggle. I paid for late check out to midday and had people knocking on the door at 10.30 asking why I was still in room. Room was clean, slept well and lounges at hotel good.

Stayed just the one night while catching a show at the City Varieties. Would definitely stay here again. Friendly staff and lovely room. Parking at the hotel can be a problem so suggest booking early at a nearby carpark. I found big discounts at Citipark with an advanced booking.

"It’s difficult, because I can understand the wide range of reviews. The fact that there are no staff on site, coupled with an unusual door access system, makes thinking of this as a hotel (never mind the star rating) somewhat of a stretch. Having said that, a mobile number was provided if needed. ..."
