Have stayed here about 5 times now and all other times have been 5/5, this time though I am leaving disappointed, The temperature of the rooms is low at 21 with signs around hotel telling you why this is great... if it was great you wouldnt need the signs, the air con in room does work though however you need to set it to 30 for heat to come out and warm up the room, the biggest issue has been that for 3 days I have had to run the cold tap so that the shower gets hot, they did try to fix the problem but couldn't and no offer of another room just thats the best they can do..... When its cold an wet outside you want a nice room to come back too an for the cost you would expect more hence the 2 star review The staff are great, location is great , very clean and friendly, i still like sgaying here. The family room main bed is really good the child's bed is basically a hospital trolley its ok I suppose They advertised brand new tvs and media hub, which my daugheter wanted for Netflix and me for the football on Now tv, Yet the tv has no smart features when we asked why they said its controlled by a centre in Solihull and have no idea, having freeview tv does not count as a media hub!!!

There is a need for improvement

Jannaly TripAdvisor review

I stayed two nights at the hotel. The location is good, close to few tube stations, the staff was very friendly, the room spacious, the swimming pool and gym really good. Free water, tee, coffee and cookies in the room. The bar staff were also great. In overall, it was a nice, welcoming atmosphere in the lobby. But, there is a need for improvement: first, the room carpet had lots of stains that can be removed easily, similar in the bathroom, limescale everywhere, the shower was weak and difficult to adjust, either is too hot or too cold. The queen double bed had two mattresses, never seen that before and even mattress was comfortable you could feel the gap between. Those little things can be and should be fixed in a four star hotel. Therefore one star less. I would come again but not for the price I paid this time, almost 300£ per night.

I do not wish this to be public as my troubles seem petty. If you were in a hotel in France and couldn’t get a coffee in room or have coffee from housekeeping or find one at breakfast there would be uproar. No one in the hotel took the total lack of English breakfast tea in a pricey hotel in London England seriously. No tea for us over 70s old northern English people. No we don’t drink anything other than ordinary black tea in London. If we are abroad we will fit in with the local culture but even in Paris you can order black tea. I put this to the staff, politely and was met with disdain. I also had to mention that the locker in the swimming area failed to work and a member of my family had to walk up to reception to get help. Even the staff couldn’t initially work it and stated they knew that locker was a problem. Again I politely mentioned this to staff in the hope they could put a notice on the locker. I did not get any affirmation that this would be considered even and someone having to walk to the hotel reception and queue in a towel was dismissed as normal. Just a little understanding would have been helpful. I am old and have stayed in many, many hotels. This is my first complaint.
