Alot of noise very early on

We arrived and had to wait quite a while for someone to acknowledge us, once they did the young girl was very polite and we managed to book in early. The darwin room was smaller than expected but clean and generally nice. Breakfast was nice and they accommodated my request for a tailor made breakfast. The downside there are only bed side and a dressing table light which dont light the room hardly at all. The hot water tap in the bathroom sink is enough to scald you and the toilet had water running all night. The even worse bit was the bin wagon at 4 a.m which went up and down the street, followed by an early morning delivery at 5.30 a.m somewhere very close as the noise and banging was terrible. This meant we had no sleep 4 a.m I complained to management and was told i had come to a hotel in the town centre and should expect noise and had no other complaints ! This i know is not true as i have since looked further on trip advisor and seen several ! Whilst I acknowledge i am staying in a busy town centre and there will be noise i hadnt anticipated a bin wagon at that ridiculous time, this isnt the hotels fault but you should be made aware of this when booking as it will be a weekly occurance. So overall a disappointing stay.

Not what the reviews implied

Really not what I was expecting. It started off poorly when the bouncers tried to stop me getting into the loopy shrew because I had a bag, once I was finally in it was so loud with music that it took 10 minutes for them to get to me. The room itself was nice enough on the face of it, but the music was so loud until about 1am. The toilet was near impossible to flush, taking 10 or so attempts each time, as well as the seat being damaged. You also had to duck super low in order to actually get to it in the first place. The blind in the bathroom wouldn’t go down, and the window to the Main Street was directly opposite shower so I couldn’t even take a shower without flashing the world. Lastly, a fire alarm went off around midnight, we got out and waited but no one bothered to tell us what was going on or apologise.

Mixed bag but lots of positives.

Room was clean and tidy but tired and very small (Wyle Cop). Difficult to get round the bed when trying to get dressed. Bed was comfortable though. Breakfast was excellent as was the service and the Loopy Shrew bar in the evening. DJ is on until way after midnight so pointless going to bed on first floor until after this. Bar and restaurant staff were really hardworking and professional. We would stay again but only if we could get a room on the second floor or higher…noise was too much.

Lovely room above a lively bar

Nice clean room with a good selection of tea and coffee, miniature toiletries in the bathroom and a comfy bed. Lovely breakfast with good options for vegetarian and vegan diets. It is a bar with rooms above so just be aware that especially if staying fri or sat night it is going to be noisy. (They do provide complimentary ear plugs!)

A great central location in a lively pub with great staff and food. The room itself is looking a bit tired and needs a refresh and a good carpet clean but was a good size and bed was comfortable.

I like the green front! Staff were great ! Food was delicious! Only problem narrow stairs to 2 nd floor attic! Lovely walking area for sailboat Morgan, market, Quarry and train and big mall and Tesco in 10 minutes up the hill! Lovely view from front window! Decent people passing! I did not need an alarm at 5 am a BIRD CAWS LOULDY! Very fully I thought! Late at night there is a code to enter no staff

Loopy shrew

Room very hot and unable to open windows. On first night only one bath towel and no bath mat so used hand towel as mat. Shower over bath had no grabrail and floor of bath very slippery which was extremely dangerous. Quite a bit of mould over bath.
