Room in a delapidated state, curtain hanging off the hooks, very dirty armchair . Room was really cold when we arrived, called reception to have heating switched on . Was told that it’s centrally controlled … really , who is deciding how warm my room will be. Hallway dirty from when we arrived until 2 days later, obviously housekeeping not up to scratch , found dirty sock under chair .. won’t return!

Reception staff were a delight. Room was warm and commfortable, as always. We ate in the restaurant on the first evening, that wasnt as we had hoped. We ordered a starter and a light bite. The starter came after the main course, in fits and starts !!.. One of teh starters was cold, one was overcooked and dry and one arrived 15 minutes after we had finished everything else. In addition, one of the waiting on staff had some personal hygiene issues which were quite off putting, when serving food at the table. Probably not the best experience in all honesty. Will stay there again though.

No hairdryer, iron, ironing board or luggage rack in room. Filthy stained carpet. Dust everywhere. “Leather” coated bedroom furniture scratched and dirty. Brown stain in one coffee cup that came off when washed. Room and corridor on 7th floor stank. Soundproofing nonexistent. At check out nobody asked how our stay was, probably because they knew they put us in a horrible room. Avoid this hotel at all costs. Only good thing - the lift is fast.
