AWFUL NIGHTS SLEEP. Hotel is great, staff are great, room was really nice, the bed and pillows were fantastic, really comfortable however there was a locked door in the corner of the room and behind it appeared to be all the pipework and down pipes for all the 14 floors above us. This door was door feet from the bed. So every time someone flushed a toilet, washed their hands, had a shower or ran a tap, we heard it rushing down past our room. So we had an awful night's sleep. We mentioned to the staff as we checked out and they appeared to well aware of this problem. They gave a half assed apology and sent us on our way. Honestly don't think I'd stay again. Had a better night's sleep at a Premier Inn.

Have stayed here before … Nice fresh hotel but missing some attention to detail … eg… no pen or pencil in the room to complete the breakfast card which is annoying as I will now go Starbucks .. and a 5p lotus biscuit on the coffee tray is really naff!
