Robert B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We’ve stayed hear a number of times now and love the central location. We did have an issue with our original room, there was excessive noise from compressors situated either on the roof or from service shafts which disrupted our sleep. The staff were accomodating though the following day and we managed to change rooms. My other recommendation would be to renovate the rooms as they are starting to show their age.

Dear Robert, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and for your continued loyalty as a valued Gold member of ALL – Accor Live Limitless. It’s always a pleasure to welcome you back, and we truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us time and time again. We’re delighted to hear that you continue to enjoy our central location and that our team was able to assist you promptly when the issue with your initial room arose. That said, I sincerely apologise for the disturbance caused by the noise you experienced. A restful night’s sleep is essential, and we regret that we fell short on this occasion. Please rest assured that your comments have been shared with our maintenance team for further investigation. We also greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of our rooms. Your comments are both noted and valued, and they will certainly be taken into consideration as we plan for future improvements and upgrades. It’s encouraging to see that many aspects of your stay, including our team, breakfast, and overall service, were well received. Your feedback helps us to identify where we are doing well and where we can improve, and we thank you for your honest insights. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon and provide you with an even more seamless and comfortable experience. Warm regards, Joshua Guest Services Manager
