Lovely room. Nice bar. Unfortunately though at breakfast the chef was screaming and swearing very loudly for all diners to hear. Apart from that the staff were very nice and accommodating throughout our stay. Breakfast was lovely despite the kitchen drama. Very handy location for the arena/ different bars/restaurants and shopping.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are tiny, and ours had dust coating everything. There was a nasty smell coming out of the bathroom, we had to keep the fan running the entire time we were in the room. One of the staff was very friendly at breakfast, but blasted the volume of the morning TV shows. Everyone else could barely be bothered to help us. It was annoying to have to go down and up 2 flights of steep stairs to get a hair dryer, there should be one in every room. All the communications (signs and instructions) to guests were very unwelcoming - mostly about extra charges (of which there were many possibilities) rather than amenities (which were few). To be charged a 3 GBP deposit for a second key card on a double occupancy room is really stingy. The doors are heavy and tightly sprung, so guests coming in late at night can't help but announce their arrival with banging that can be heard throughout the floor. The included breakfast was ok. but again all about the extra charges and rules.

Loved our stay
From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. All the staff were very friendly and professional, breakfast was very nice. Had a meal in the evening which was also very good. We will definitely be returning as it was a home from home.

Okay for insomniacs
It's above a busy pub. You actually have to queue at the bar to check in. Doesn't appear to be any instructions on how to change the heating. The walls are paper thin, worse than any hotel or B&B I've known. It didn't help that all the other residents on my floor were a hen party who arrived back at 4am, and who strangely arose at 8am full of beans.

The room was a little small for 2 people, couldn’t manoeuvre around the bed. No running water in the morning so couldn’t shower.
