Needs more safety…
We visited very recently and loved the location of the hotel, very close to everything. This has the potential to be a really fantastic hotel and I believe a few years ago it probably was. However our stay wasn’t perfect. We got followed back to the hotel by a man around midnight, unfortunately the hotel has an open all door which is very unsafe. Yes you can’t use the lift without a key card but what’s to stop him from forcing us into the lift? We also had a lot of stains on the carpet and it all just felt very tired and worn. The bed however, that was perfect. The hotel itself is nice but for the same price I’d possibly choose somewhere else. Breakfast was a good 9/10 though!

Its not what they make it out to be
Stayed on the 30th October, nearly 3 weeks later still no refund for my deposit. Ignored emails. Only stayed like 8 hours max and the room was gloomy, beds put together so the gap in the middle was uncomfortable. Stayed in radisson blu the night prior, much better

I would not recommend
The air conditioning was broken and stuck on 28 degrees, the fan in the room had one speed (the remote for adjusting was lost) and was really loud. The staff said they would fix the aircon remotely but didn’t or couldn’t. We wanted to shower and leave early as we slept so poorly, all the water was absolutely boiling (even from the cold tap) until about 7am when others got up. Really very strange. There was no one on reception when we checked out. All in all, great location but I wouldn’t return as it was highly let down by technical faults and issues resulting in an awful nights sleep.

One night at the cube
Check in process was fine. There is no parking on site for guests, though I was offered a 20% discount to park elsewhere. Room was comfortable but hot especially in the early hours. There is no A/C though 2 fans were provided. The carpets in the hallway appeared dirty whether it was the colour or wear.

Ok but no heat or air con
A nice enough city hotel until you realise the air con and heating arent working. We were given a plug in radiator because we were so cold. But without the air con there's little air circulation either. Very helpful staff and a clean room, but did have coffee stains on the carpet. Really needs some investment to get it back up to scratch.

The hotel was dugusting, carpets were dirty. Tge shower was leaking and would not maintain a hot water temperature. The hotel bedroom heating eas not working, they promised heater but had none and said they can only offer extra blankets to keep warm. The hotel conditions and service was completely diabolical.
