CityStays Rooms with Free Parking

Hadn't been here for a while. Wont go into details but the service was very slow and few problems with the food but the manager was very good and sorted it out and apologised. She wrote our bill off completely. Will go again. Was probably just a blip on the day we went.

I stayed here for one night alone to break up a long journey. The room was good value and offered free on-street parking. I was emailed and advised I would be staying in room 1. There is a key safe to access the property and my room was on the ground floor. There were cobwebs in the rooms but the room itself was light and airy. The room had vertical blinds at the window and no curtains and as night fell it became evident that these vertical blinds would not keep the light out. There was a street lamp right outside the window and so the room was bright all night. The biggest negative with this room was that there is a boiler within the room. The boiler makes a constant humming noise which only gets louder when anyone turns on a hot tap or uses a shower. This caused a constant level of noise in the room. I would not stay here again. I would pay the extra £5 to stay at the local Ibis or other hotel within the area.

Avoid and do not book. Dont make the same mistake we did. Booking made on short notice so there wasnt much options. Not worth staying here. Especially if its over £150 a night. The room itself was too hot. We were on the top floor and radiator in the middle floor was turned on to full. Thermostat handle was not there. Messaged and emailed the contact details that were given to us after booking. Requested a fan but no response. The wifi connection details in the room and the ones in the hallway were different from one another. Tried them both and they didnt work. Contacted the hotel again and no response. So had to leave the window open all night which is not a good idea as people and cars were being noisey in the middle of the night. The occupants next door to us were noisey a few times in the middle of the night. Woke me and my wife up. After we managed to get some broken sleep. Someone tried to open our door at 8am in the morning without evening knocking. Hence disturbing us again. We stayed here on a Saturday night. As i've stayed in hundreds of hotels before for work, i will not be staying here. There are other, better options i will choose next time.

We had read some of the reviews on *********** which said that this place was good value, unfortunately I am unable to agree, it was expensive for room only with no reception area and we would not stay there again. The pictures are soooooo good but the reality doesn't match. The outside of the place is awful and doesn't look faintly like it belongs in the beautiful Georgian Quarter of the city. We were in one of the top rooms (5 I think), here was no window, just a skylight so we were woken up as soon as it got light. The shower was dreadful with poor pressure and it was impossible to keep the temperature constant, it was either boiling or freezing. The room and shower room were clean but the bed was really not at all comfortable. If you eventually get your hair washed and rinsed in the awful shower, take an extension cable if you want to dry your hair as the plug is too far away from the mirror. There wasn't much tea and coffee and there was no milk, just a jar of coffee mate which looked liked it had been there for ages. There is a small fridge so if you stay, take some milk and tea/coffee. Good points, there was a small ironing board and a travel iron and a decent hairdryer. We parked outside for free and thankfully our car was undamaged so I would say don't worry about leaving your car. It was a fair distance from town which is fair enough and we managed to get taxis which were about £9 each way. It's not so bad going into town on foot, but unless you have a really good sense of direction and comfy shoes, I wouldn't recommend walking back, particularly if you've had a drink. I hate leaving poor reviews but this is a completely honest one, the fact it didn't suit us doesn't mean you wont like it.
