I booked 4 nights bed and breakfast, they were renovating the kitchen the 1st two days so there was no breakfast, these things happen but they also did not try to make it right once. Don’t seem very guest focused at all.

Hotel room was disapointing for the price we paid, the bathroom had notices warning about the hot water, it was not hot it was scalding this needs to be addressed as a matter of safety, guests are advised to keep bathroom door closed as the steam could set off the fire alarm, it was a bit disconcerting that there are no staff on the premises during the night only guests. We appreciate that it is a very old and quirky building and this adds to the charm, on a positive note the bed was very comfy and the breakfast on both mornings freshly cooked and excellent, we will definitely visit again for a drink and food but would not stay in the hotel.

Alot of noise very early on
We arrived and had to wait quite a while for someone to acknowledge us, once they did the young girl was very polite and we managed to book in early. The darwin room was smaller than expected but clean and generally nice. Breakfast was nice and they accommodated my request for a tailor made breakfast. The downside there are only bed side and a dressing table light which dont light the room hardly at all. The hot water tap in the bathroom sink is enough to scald you and the toilet had water running all night. The even worse bit was the bin wagon at 4 a.m which went up and down the street, followed by an early morning delivery at 5.30 a.m somewhere very close as the noise and banging was terrible. This meant we had no sleep 4 a.m I complained to management and was told i had come to a hotel in the town centre and should expect noise and had no other complaints ! This i know is not true as i have since looked further on trip advisor and seen several ! Whilst I acknowledge i am staying in a busy town centre and there will be noise i hadnt anticipated a bin wagon at that ridiculous time, this isnt the hotels fault but you should be made aware of this when booking as it will be a weekly occurance. So overall a disappointing stay.

Not what the reviews implied
Really not what I was expecting.
It started off poorly when the bouncers tried to stop me getting into the loopy shrew because I had a bag, once I was finally in it was so loud with music that it took 10 minutes for them to get to me.
The room itself was nice enough on the face of it, but the music was so loud until about 1am.
The toilet was near impossible to flush, taking 10 or so attempts each time, as well as the seat being damaged. You also had to duck super low in order to actually get to it in the first place.
The blind in the bathroom wouldn’t go down, and the window to the Main Street was directly opposite shower so I couldn’t even take a shower without flashing the world.
Lastly, a fire alarm went off around midnight, we got out and waited but no one bothered to tell us what was going on or apologise.

Mixed bag but lots of positives.
Room was clean and tidy but tired and very small (Wyle Cop). Difficult to get round the bed when trying to get dressed. Bed was comfortable though.
Breakfast was excellent as was the service and the Loopy Shrew bar in the evening. DJ is on until way after midnight so pointless going to bed on first floor until after this.
Bar and restaurant staff were really hardworking and professional. We would stay again but only if we could get a room on the second floor or higher…noise was too much.

A lovely hotel
Staff was great. Helpful, efficient and nice. But with this price, I would expect the hotel room etc. better. It is an old building renovated, but still an old building if u know what i mean. Shower water pressure is very good, a plus vs many other hotels. Food at The Loopy Shrews was great and I just stayed in from dinner to breakfast to mid morning snacks before checking out. Convenient location. I will stay again if the price is right for me next time.
