Pros:

Rooms spacious, bed comfortable, excellent location

Cons:

Advertised as air conditioned by booking.com. did not specify this was only in public areas and not in bedrooms. It was a hot night, and although we had a fan and the windows opened, this was not enough to cool the room temperature

Great service everywhere including the Front Bar.

Good stay. A bit expensive. And air con on the summer is a must.
Pros:

Location. Staff. Breakfast.

Cons:

No air con. It was really hot weather and though hotel gave us a fan it only blew hot air around the room. It was uncomfortably warm.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Noisy on a night time given there is a bar right next to property. Earplugs given out to dampen noise.

Breakfast was mediocre, you’d get a better feed at nearby cafes.

Rooms were very warm, bed was very comfortable and shower facilities were excellent.

Some people need to realise that this is a dog friendly hotel.

Adults rolling their eyes or looking you up and down just makes themselves look stupid and not the dog.

I’d try elsewhere before going back.

Staff were very accommodating.

Not a great experience.
Pros:

Great breakfast - wonderful,attentive, friendly staff on breakfast duty Saturday 20/6.

Cons:

The room was extremely hot, absolutely stifling so very poor nights sleep (it wasn’t a hot day). If you are staying at the back of the hotel very noisy from the bars below so we needed to keep the windows closed. Surely this hotel chain can afford a few air con units rather than a 20 quid fan. We had a voucher which caused some issues when trying to apply to our stay - communication really not great between staff on reception duty, although cannot fault Lucy who initially tried to resolve the matter but on arrival on the Friday lunchtime we were asked over and over again for the same info to the point of which it became embarrassing. On check in staff were stressed and snappy (only 2 couples checking in at the time so no reason to be this way) also openly, negatively discussing staff from the previous shift - not a great first impression at all. Is it a great location - yes but you pay the price for that!

Pros:

Good location, very nice hotel, staff helpful and food is very good

Cons:

Bedroom had no air con just a fan and it was unbearably hot had windows open all night as did a lot of other guests, lots saying the rooms were too hot also no fridge in room,
They give you complimentary bottles of water but room was so hot that the water was warm. Also very little sound proofing in the rooms could hear everything.
