great location, noisy, dark room with view of a brick wall.
The hotel was in a great location and staff friendly, especially Matthew. I was staying with my husband and 16year old son (and paid for 3 adults). We were given a small dark corner room with a view of a brick wall. We requested a change of room and was offered another corner room with a slightly better view of a brick wall and fire exit, this did however have slightly more light. The only other room offered had one queen bed and a pull out sofa bed (which we had been told are very uncomfortable). With little choice we accepted the 2nd corner room and tried to make the most of our 4 night break. However we were woken at midnight from the noise in the next room which was due to an adjoining door, we could hear everything from that room, talking, laughing etc. The second night we had to bang on the wall for them to be quiet so that we could get some sleep. The beds were quite comfortable but sleep quality due to noise was poor. I did mention this to the Virgin rep whose answer was to speak to reception. Bathroom was also very cold in the mornings.
Overall the hotel is adequate if you do not have high expectations and rooms are clean enough. Breakfast is sufficient but they do run out of certain food if you are a little late down. Free coffee is good. Food at Brendans was good, didn't think food at Playwright Irish Bar was that good even with 20% discount.
