Excellent value
Lovely big room with a fantastic enormous bed. Very pleasant staff. Breakfast was really nice with lots of choice. Overall the stay was excellent value and will definitely stay at this hotel again. Anyone with mobility problems would have to request a ground floor room as there is no lift and stairs are quite steep

The hotel looks nice from the outside but is aging on the inside. There is no elevator, and on top of that the bus stop lets out at the bottom of a hill, and then a large set of stairs to even get to the hotel itself. The rooms themselves were nicely appointed. Though the showers use that weird half glass thing that ends up spilling water all over if youre taller than average. The Wifi was almost unusable in our room on the third floor. And the layout for the room numbers was extremely confusing. The sign was little help the first time i had to find our room. The restaurant wasn't bad, if it a bit expensive. The food was good, and the service was ok. The downside is that it was basically the only food for quite a distance unless you wanted to go to the gas station at the bottom of the hill. Nice neighborhood, but did require long bus rides to get anywhere we wanted to go.

Hotel is quite neat. However it is really tired and dated and hard to keep clean. It was convenient to take the bus into town but for the price point I would of expected a little more cleanliness and upgrading.

great stay
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We stayed in a room on the top floor. Check-in at night was quick and they kept our bags after check-out. The English breakfast was very good!! Only on the last night, I think there was an event and there was some noise at night, not to mention that after midnight you could hear the noise of the vacuum cleaner in the reception area on the top floor.

Nice buffet breakfast. Nice friendly staff. On second night of our stay we had to park our car out on the street at 7pm as the car park was full of vans taking up more spaces due to their size. Water damage on the bathroom ceiling. The TV was up in the gods about 10 - 12 inches from the high ceiling. Hense left hotel with sore neck.

Beautiful castle view room
We booked Braid Hills as we were going to an event at the O2 arena and this was a good commute base. From the minute we walked through the door till the minute we left the staff couldn't have been nicer, especially Jake who was definitely made for hospitality as he was a credit to his role he was extremely helpful and informative and happy to chat and make you feel right at home he was a lovely you man.Our room the signature castle view room was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable with fantastic views over the city. I can’t comment on the breakfast as I was unfortunately a little worse for wear the next morning so unfortunately never managed to get to breakfast. I would definitely recommend staying and will certainly stay again.
