Subway forever
Pros:

All staff were extremely helpful and polite and calm and confident. Check-in was a breeze. Location perfect! But curry across the road was yuk. So close to subway restaurant meant I could eat healthy on the cheap.

Cons:

The checkout staff was a bit blunt or confused with the refund process.

The location was ideal, but the room looked different from the photos and felt cold due to a draft.
Pros:

The location was excellent, centrally positioned, and our planned destination was only a three‑minute walk

Cons:

The room looked quite different from the photos of the one we thought we booked. We understand that rooms can vary, but this one felt quite cold, dark, and there was a noticeable gap around the bathroom window and frame caused a strong draft

Interestingly different and would happily return 🌻
Pros:

I booked based on location & price. Then I read the sad reviews, I was concerned. However, the facilities exceeded my expectations. Room 109 was fabulous, clean & tidy. Comfort: the big bed, the two arm chairs, the big bath, plush large towels. Beverages. Large wall pump bottles beautiful hand soap & hand & body moisturiser, shampoo & conditioner. There's more the balcony to enjoy a drink & watch the world go by. It is definitely not your everyday hotel and why not try something different, which it is. A Grand hotel from a bygone area. The whirling noisey warming itself up bathroom fan 🤣, the fabulous high ceiling, 24/7 room service. 🫶🏾

Dirty rugs on entering lift, and a really dodgy lift. Windows where filthy.
Cleaness of the whole place could be better!!
