Tatty. Tired. Location good, but only use if cheap
Tatty. Arrived around 10pm and was put into a disabled room. When I asked for a “deluxe” as per my booking they “upgraded” me to the 6th floor. Heating didn’t work; bathroom smelt like an ashtray; bathroom door handle falling off; overall tatty. Great location, but not worth £200. I won’t be back!

Super clean and comfy in the most central location
Or room was immaculate! The bed was huuuuge. Very comfortable stay. Only reason they lost a star: we stayed in for the evening and were doing dry january. Asking for an extra 2 teabags, milks and sugars at reception seemed too hard for staff to pull together.
