Great Location Lovely Warm Welcome Up to date interior Room Comfort, Perfect. Restaurant - very accommodating and we could tell the staff loved what they do. Breakfast was a little confusing as we got shown to a seat and left with no idea that we could help ourselves to the yogurts and fruit. Breakfast order was taken eventually so this is the only are i think the hotel could improve.

We had a very bad stay and experience at Middle Eight. - First night we had to change room in the evening because of horrendous smell of weed in the room coming in from an other room (with a so-called VIP guest) - Second night the air conditioning was not working in our room and it turned into a 30 degree sauna. Had to change again - What stood out the most actually was the bad service throughout: 1. On every issue we were met with untrue or evasive answers 2. After the second night change we complained that with this kind of service we are unwilling to pay and got a bs offer of 20% discount one night. Unfortunately had to really argue but finally to their credit that night became complimentary. 3. Breakfast is advertised as having gluten-free options. On all three mornings they were out of GF toast… on the last morning they offered to go to local sainsbury to buy it. What a turn off No never again this hotel for us. Wannabe 5 star place lacking very much on service level in their staff

It was not as good as we have had before. Long wait for room and we had an old scratched table in there which spoilt the room and made it look small. Was clean and tidy and we had complimentary prosecco for a family Birthday which was a lovely surprise. Unfortunately we were very offended by our name being wrong. It was booked under Snell and we got our room key with Smelly written on it which really was not a nice start to our stay.

Good location, room let it down.

I stayed here with VIP access although I’m not sure what element was VIP, The hotel is quiet and in a good location and very impressive down in the main foyer and bar. The check in was good as we were early and so we dropped our bags before heading out. Unfortunately, the room was a letdown. Our aircon didn’t work and, despite a member of the facilities team coming to fix it it - it still didn’t work and we had to have a stand up fan in the room overnight to make it bearable. The mini bar also didn’t have any refreshments in on arrival which we had to ask for, even though there was a note saying the first round was on the hotel (which I assume was the VIP part) so a small coke, lemonade and bottle of water was brought up. I was surprised not to have any alcoholic beverages in a mini bar for such a large hotel.

We had a good stay but this is NOT a 5 star hotel. Breakfast service was poor, missing plates and cutlery, the ordered food was not served together and the presentation was poor. This was not helped by the restaurant manger doing nothing but walking backwards and forwards in an attempt to appear busy. Reception was under-staffed and there were significant delays in retrieving stored luggage. Not good enough at this price point!
