Disliked: Staff & service
Not impressed
The location was very good, very central to the City centre and all the amenities. Room basic, no mini fridge. Staff not very helpfull, Much too busy to be dealing with customers. We were there for comedy dining, which in itself was amatuerish.. Food although tasty could have been better presented. we had to queue to get into breakfast. We asked 2 seperate servers for an order of fried eggs. The 1st one told us she was not taking orders she was just stocking up, the 2nd one did take the order but we had finished breakfast before we got them. Not a place i would stay again. I would have had better service at the nearby Premier Inn. For 1/3 of the price. It was a shame as this was supposed to be a gift weekend for myself and my husband. Not impressed.

Was absolutely lovely stay, just weren't given walk around or hasn't been navigated... no one asked me if I'm here firt time or not and literally I couldn't find my door number as it was not 1234 my number were right in the end when number before my number were in the middle of the corridor, I were very tired when I arrived, had practical almost like an exam day l day, had a long drive in the morning and had to go back all the way for a help, were asking reception where is restaurant and which way is the spa, (just an advise for future...) : In the same time while doing check-in could show with the hand what can you do in here for example if you like to have a spa or which way is the restaurant just show it so guests wouldn't need to keep ringing or coming back and asking every separate thing over and over again x It's time consuming x Food was brilliant!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel. Thank you! Unfortunately, no hot water on the evening of our stay, so I was unable to have a bath/shower. Room was a bit chilly mainly because the windows let in a draught. It was, however, an exceptionally cold evening outside. Lovely views across the River Wear, castle and cathedral from the window, so worth paying extra for that.
