I feel like this is one of those hotels that stopped short of being excellent. Built out of a former factory, it’s unique and parts of it appear four star. But other parts seem extremely average.
The service, for instance. The employees working the front counter spoke excellent English, and were very friendly. Yet the hotel charges extra for parking and internet and, when I asked them to put the parking charge on my room bill (after already giving them my credit card for any extra fees accrued in my room…including internet usage), they told me that they would have to charge an extra fee for charging it to my credit card. ??? Obviously they don’t have to, they just choose to. Big difference.
The other thing is that, while the rooms were very spacious, clean, and nice, they in no way went the extra mile in providing those little details that make a stay stand out.
In addition, they had some sort of a convention meeting there (which seemed little more than a bunch of German business men meeting together) which had booked the entire restaurant for the entire evening. Unfortunately, the hotel isn’t really surrounded by much so there weren’t really a lot of other alternatives.
To be clear, this hotel was nice and certainly worth the £65 a night I spent to stay there. In fact, for that price, I was very happy. I just felt like there were a few things that could have made a unique hotel like this one really stand out.
That said, and again, the room was very spacious as was the bathroom which featured a full tub and shower, as well as a double sink.
