The heating control didn’t work. There was no cup or glass in the room. I could hear talking through the interconnecting door, which wasn’t locked! The duty manager knocked on my door for no apparent reason. The escape stairs were covered with detritus. The shower was good

Four day stay disappointing
Having stayed at the hotel several times before over past 30 years, we were a little disappointed with our four day break. The view over the town bridge and river from seventh floor was excellent, the maid service was very consistent, and the room was spacious, bathroom quirky but fine. However, the safe was non-operational, the general decor a little tired, and reception staff not entirely welcoming, apart from Hermès. Particularly the charging for the first stay of many of £5 a night for parking was a surprise and unnecessary, especially as on one day, we were unable to access on many occasions that day because of a function at the hotel, of which were not pre-advised, and we incurred additional charges elsewhere in town. Overall, we were disappointed on this occasion, and will consider our travel arrangements elsewhere in future, sadly. We did not avail ourselves of and breakfast or other meals this time.

Good, comfy, minor irritations
Room lovely clean and bright, up to date and beds v comfy. Sadly a loose component on the exterior of the window rattled all night long and disturbed our sleep. Our room had an adjoining door and so we were then woken at 530 am by next door’s radio/tv. The shower had a dodgy jet that squirted water all over bathroom floor.
