Phone not working !!
We were not told about the external scaffolding which wasn’t a great issue. We tried to call reception about some banging around in a bedroom above us at 11pm. It was continuously enguaged - even the Emergancy button did not work. We had to google the hotel number to get an answer. Overall nice hotel in the middle of ever thing.

Good location but no care to room equipment
Hotel is covered by scaffolding. No mention was made about this on booking. Staff on arrival ok but no apology for no warning of scaffolding jusy reason for it. Unlikely to have booked if known. In room using hairdryer which didnt sound particularly good, it gave a small explosion, singed my hair and started severly smoking. Tried to call Rec, but phone not plugged in and on trying to plug ot in, the wire disappeared into the wall. I had to go down from 6th floor to rec. I was given a spare hairdryer but no apology just mild surprise. Had to ask him to check the hairdryer and phone. I mentioned issues on check out as i had asked the night rec to make a note. Day staff unaware and made another note. Apology given but nothing else. This is for a room that was £303!! Not very impressed.

The hotel was good, however we were unaware at time of booking that there was building work going on, this is why we have only given it 4 stars. My husband was getting changed in our room during the day, curtains open and a builder walked right by our window (we were on the 4th floor). We felt we had to leave the curtains closed after this occurred for privacy.

The hotel room was spacious. The hotel staff were helpful at some times but were a bit standoffish at certain times. However once the construction is completed, i think the hotel is a prime location. However with our stay during the construction time it was kind of unpleasant.

Unfortunately the hotel was a construction site. We had no daylight in our room because of a foil over the window. Also we had a sofa changed into a bed in our room for 2 so we actually couldn't sit at the desk or move properly in the room at all. Most of the time one of the 2 coffeemachines in the breakfast area was out of order and there were long queues to get a hot beverage. Breakfast was fine though. The elevator was out of order, too, but we only stayed in the 3rd floor, so that extra bit of exercise was ok for us. The hotel was quiet in the night, but because of the construction works going on in the day it was pretty loud. So we only really stayed in the hotel for the night... The staff was lovely though and very helpful!

I liked the proximity to all of the attractions. I felt that the hotel was not transparent and did not inform on the website a full disclosure that the hotel was being remodeled. There was scaffolding everywhere and was unable to open windows. Also, the hotel was full to capacity and I was given a handicap room which it was not what I booked. I have stayed and have booked multiple rooms in the past, but I was extremely disappointed. An email was sent to the hotel expressing my grievances and I didint even receive an apology

The general service is a little rude, especially for a girl on the reception named Tsiana she is not quite nice, overall all the other members are nice and kind. It seems there’s a lack of training for some staff members. Additionally, the lift was out of service all weekdays and you needed use stairs, in my personal case I was on the first floor and I didn’t have issues dealing with that. All the outside of this building it’s been repaired, but during night there’s quite. Labors starts at 9 AM but those weren’t noise
