FURNACE!!!!!

Absolutely awful . The whole building was like a furnace, i was given a fan for my room and it didn't make a slight bit of positive difference. The bed two poor quality singles pushed together with a huge dip in the middle. Overall the worst stay in a hotel i have had for a long time and i stay in hotels weekly

Rude reception staff. Non communicative when there was mix up with my reservation. Had to call Expedia myself (who were brilliant). Also had no aircon in ALL the rooms (their answer was "we don't state we have aircon"). Not great when the windows don't open! Left and found somewhere with the most basic amenities.

Reception staff on arrival rude and sarcastic esp Reception Manager. No air conditioning. Had two rooms one had average air con the other none. Lack of air con not highlighted by staff. Could have been managed so much better. Room phone not working. Took 2 hours for second fan to arrive. Cold water tap regularly issued hot water. So, a number of HSE issues. Left after 1 of 3 nights. Reception staff on second day much more helpful. Went to Hotel du Vin which was first class.

Terrible - stay away

Air conditioning in the room (any rooms) not working, complained and got appalling service at reception, no offering compensation. Terrible sleep. Next morning shower and sink taps were red hot so could only just manage a shower.

Hotel was great, nice rooms and bar etc but air conditioning wasn’t working and no cold water flowing through the shower only very hot water. When discussed with hotel staff on reception, they were rather rude to customers.

No AC

At check-in the receptionist was lovely, she efficiently got us ready to go into the room. When we opened the door there was two standing fans there and when trying to turn the AC on nothing happened. We called reception and another fan was given however, the room was so unbearable to be in we decided to check out. Again the receptionist was really understanding and as there weren’t any other rooms available offered a refund for our room. Amazing staff Terrible room

The rooms do not have air conditioning. As they are in a tower block with big windows which don’t open, the room was stifling. Two fans didn’t touch it. I felt sorry for the staff on the desk. I checked out and they agreed a refund. They simply should not be selling rooms if they are unable to provide them at a habitable temperature.

They should have informed us that the air conditioning wasn’t working throughout the hotel. Even with a fan in the room, it was unbearably hot. Ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and was a bath of sweat.

Disappointing stay - there were 2 fans blowing hot air around a boiling hot room when we arrived. We was told maintenance were fixing the issue - when we arrived back after a night out the heat was unbearable so we had to move rooms at 2am in the morning! Both rooms were worn and where there had been attempts to redecorate it was all unfinished. Breakfast again disappointing - the food was of poor quality.
