Liked: Comfortable rooms and the staff were amazingly nice. The 10% discount on the Thai restaurant downstairs was also nice.

Disliked: The showers had terrible pressure and the TV (in our first room, we switched to another after complaining) and the wifi (in the whole hotel) didn't work.

Liked: Sizeable room and bed; nice en suite; kettle, tea, phone, tv etc... everything pretty good!

Disliked: Main problem was the noise - our room was directly off the main hall so people coming and going early/late would wake us up. Also the price went up when not booking through hostelbookers.

Liked: Had a very pleasant stay in the hotel. The location is good - within a 10 minute walk from the Central Station, easy to find. Quite and cosy. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is a typical continental one, with the food good and delicious enough to enjoy and get full.

Disliked: Old windows which don't have double glazers do not serve as a good sound protection from the street noises. Wasn't a problem for me, but if your sleep is usually not so deep, bring earplugs. :)

Liked: The location was GREAT!!!!! The continental breakfast is great!!! Great value for the money!

Disliked: The smell of the ThaiPad restaurant down stairs DOES permeate the air in the building. The steps to the upper rooms feels like it is about to collapse under your feet. When we arrived, the staff still had their personal effects in our room (bath soaps, etc). The room was decent, however I don't think it was vaccummed at all, since there was drywall residue on the floor the entire time we were there. The towels were not changed the day that we had asked them to be changed.

Liked: The location was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful and very accomodating since we did arrive very early.

Disliked: The room was clean and the bed linen and towels were fresh. The room itself needed a bit of work to it but for a one night stay was ideal. The shower was good but again the bathroom had an unfinished feel about it.

Liked: Decent room size with cable tv. Free wifi in the room and we also had a desk and chair to use. There is also a fridge and tea and coffee facilities in room. Shower pressure was awesome! First place in the UK where it's turned our really well. Overall a really pleasant place to stay. Breakfast was ok.

Disliked: Location is not exactly central but not too far either. The positives far outweigh the location. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.
