Pros:

Cleanliness and well appointed

Cons:

The stairs to the very top were dangerous!
Total lack of ventilation, as the heavy blind was broken and stuck in the closed position.
The plumbing continually rattled on and off all night, and as a consequence, we got no sleep!

Good bed and shower, no good on a hot day.
Pros:

Good bed, good shower. We were told on arrival that we had been given a free upgrade!!

Cons:

Room faced setting sun and on 35 degree day it was hot! We opened windows and used fans and had showers on arrival but it was not improving. When we asked to move rooms we were not allowed as we had already used the bathroom. They gave us a second fan that hardly worked. We slept under wet towels. Also the room provided ‘toiletries’ that only included shampoo and liquid soap. No conditioner, no flannel, no cake of soap.

Pros:

Nicely decorated room, comfortable bed, everything you need is there.

Cons:

The TV had big problems with the signal. I couldn't watch for quite a while.

It would have been nice to keep the window open with the heat. Unfortunately, the room I stayed in is located above the kitchen. In the evening, the smell of the cooked food came straight to my room, and in the morning I was woken by the smell of the fried bacon.

Pros:

Classic style lounge, breakfast room and bar. Excellent serve yourself breakfast. Commanding location, very central. Good spacious room overlooking a quiet side street and housing. Nice large shower.

Cons:

Our room 300 was adjacent to the lift shaft, 100 and 200 could be the same. Didn't actually bother us but maybe these rooms should enjoy a small discount!

Weak and slow WiFi that was prone to disconnect. This is the biggest area for improvement.

An old-fashioned charm, even with a fitness room!
Pros:

A lot of space in the room (twin single use) and in the bathroom. Old fashioned and homely. Bar food was tasty and of good value. There is a gym (fitness room)!

Cons:

The fitness room has only a few pieces of equipment, no muscle train gears except dumbels. Maybe one or two techno? Then it would be perfect!
