Hotel looked lovely from outside When you arrive in our room it wasn’t the cleanest. Dust everywhere. There was 3 of us staying in the room. So a sofa bed had been pulled out but was a little too close to the double bed. So we pulled the other side of the sofa bed out. Omg the rubbish was unbelievable. The mattress was disgusting marked and stained to hell. Bathroom needed a clean l. Rooms need a good clean and a refit for the price we paid. Breakfast not the best.but depends on what you like Bacon under cooked baked beans burned on the bottom of pot. No veggie sausages did say they were on the menu. We paid premium because Robbie Williams was in town just short of £600.

Property is needing a good upgrade. The ceiling was all patchy and in need of painting. Broken lamp, toilet barely flushed. Bathroom door was warped and peeling. At £350 per night I was more than a little disappointed

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is great. Next door to the zoo and multiple bus stops nearby, making for easy transit to different locations throughout the city. Not easily accessible for strollers or wheelchairs (lots of steps to get to the entrance doors unless you go uphill around the building). Breakfast buffet was inexpensive but the food was not very good. Convenient but limited food options and the quality and taste of the food was mediocre at best. The cost for the room was extremely expensive, probably because there were multiple events going on in the city the weekend we were there (over $1K USD for one room with breakfast). We did have a family room and that was nice, as we had multiple beds, which made for a more comfortable stay with three adults and a child in the room. Overall, not a bad place for a short stay, but definitely over-priced for the quality of what we paid for.
