“Wouldn't stay here again.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

I stayed at this hotel over the past weekend with three friends. The location is great so I can’t complain about that. It’s very central and convenient to get to pretty much anywhere so it’s perfect on that basis.

But if I’m honest, I don’t think we’ll be staying there again. The room was basic which was fine because we just needed a base for the weekend – however the room was freezing. The radiator wouldn’t work properly and when it did work, it was in the early hours of the morning. The temperature valves from the radiator were missing so the heat couldn’t be increased or decreased.

The windows are very thin so you can hear literally every noise outside – it sounded like the people outside were actually in our room. We expected some noise with the location but not as much as we heard – though an argument on Friday night between two men, did make for entertainment!

The room door was incredibly hard to lock, we had to nearly snap the key in the door to get it to turn and lock which did make us worry slightly security wise. And the room was very dark – only one light was working which made things difficult when trying to get ready to go out.

Our stay was made a slight nightmare by the noisy idiots in the room next to us who thought it was appropriate to bang on the walls shouting “WAKE UP” at around 4.30 in the morning, throwing things at the walls (including what sounded like glasses and cups and at some points, it sounded like they were throwing themselves at the wall). All this added to one of them coughing so obnoxiously loud that sounded like they had been possessed by the devil – was the final nail in the coffin for us to decide that it wasn’t worth the money we paid.

I have to say that the staff were very nice and helpful though – there are no complaints with them what so ever. :)

I stayed at the union hotel for my 21st birthday weekend and loved it! Firstly, the location is perfect, and the price for the location is exceptionally cheap. The room was perfectly clean and tidy with easy, secure 24 hour access. The staff at the hotel, are the loveliest most attentive people I've ever met! Anything we needed, they helped with straight away and would check we had everything we needed. Will definitely be going back here, loved it!

“Great stay and great value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

I stayed here on a Thurs & Fri night, regardless of some of the poor comments below, this hotel is GREAT location on Canal Street, Worth the money. The website does state it is above a bar. The Friday night music could be heard from the room, but this was expected and was only until 2:30am. For location you REALLY cannot get a better hotel. Bathroom was clean, modern and of a decent size. Modern room clean and tidy etc. The 24hour access door/staircase was being painted while I was there. Theres nothing I would moan or complain about with this hotel. The staff are friendly and I felt safe and comfortable here on what was my 3rd stay with them,

Room Tip: Great location, great value for money and really good rooms

We stayed last week & thought it was really good. Clean, good price and in the city centre. We had one of the new bathrooms and our friends in the other room had an old bathroom. The hotel manager said they are doing the rooms up. Is noisy but we didn't care because we were going out. Will definitely be back.
