Nice hotel just a little noisy.

Our 2nd stay here, the hotel is excellent however this time we encountered more noise from the local clubs etc and could hear music through until 2am. Also breakfast seemed chaotic this time with a lack of plates and cutlery.

Can recommend

We stayed here one night to visit the cathedral, and I would stay here again! The staff was so helpful and attentive, the room was comfortable, and the location is great for dining spots and walking to the cathedral. The rooftop bar next door, which (at the time we went) gave discounts to hotel guests, has amazing night views of the cathedral!

Outstanding customer service

Customer service is amazing , special thanks to Louise who went out of her way to resolve the issue with our room booking - the room originally given to us was different from what we believed to have booked based on the picture. Louise went through all the rooms to find one that met our requirement to make our stay perfect.

Dear Hampton Team, Thank you for your hospitality during my recent stay. I truly appreciate the effort put into maintaining clean and comfortable rooms—it made my stay pleasant in many ways. However, I’d like to kindly mention that the noise level, particularly the loud music that continued until almost midnight, made it difficult for me to sleep. As a guest who values a quiet environment for rest, this was quite disruptive. I completely understand that entertainment is part of the guest experience, but I would sincerely appreciate it if future noise levels could be managed, especially during late hours, to ensure all guests can relax undisturbed. Thank you for considering my feedback, and I hope to have another opportunity to stay with you under more peaceful conditions. Best regards, Katya
