Check in was easy and pleasant enough. Had to request a room move about 15 minutes after getting to our room though. We were right opposite the lift which is already noisy. Then the people in the next 2 rooms were being loud & playing music. We could hear everything through the walls. Even them plugging things in! Managed to move rooms and that was much better (avoid 354!)

Really lovely quirky hotel

It's such lovely hotel. Its so quirky and fun. Staff were friendly breakfast was great! Walking distance to the train station and central to everything. The only down side is it attracts a younger audience. Not usually a problem for me. But i took my daughter to a Billie Eilish concert. Which involved a lot of travelling so we were extra tired. There were a couple of partys going on in rooms around our room. (They had been to the concert too).My daughter slept through it. But it took me ages to get to sleep because of the noise. I didn’t complain and its not the hotels fault. But something to consider if you're a light sleeper. Other than that i would give the hotel 5 stars. Really lovely hotel and staff.

Great staff & location. No safe. Noisy Aircon

Great location, clean room and great checking in staff who provided us with extra milk for our tea as not enough in the room. Main issues was really loud mechanical aircon noise meaning we couldn’t have on at night during a heatwave. Also no safety box in the room so had to take laptop out with me.

Great staff but hotel needs maintenance

The staff is outstanding but the hotel has seen better days & needs maintenance & repairs. The deadbolt on the door to our room would not lock. Carpets are stained, walls are scuffed, paint is chipped etc.

Okay for a night

My teenager son and I stayed overnight at this hotel, and booked it mainly because of the location and price. Location is good, although the construction work on the tramlines on Aytoun St made access via foot and taxi difficult. The hotel itself is as one would expect from an Ibis Styles… budget, but with some effort to incorporate a bit of style. The staff members we dealt with were great - helpful and efficient. The room itself was very ordinary. Bathroom was pretty good, but only one towel (for a twin room), and the bedroom was very average. Quite cramped, the beds weren’t particularly comfortable, and the window looked out onto a rooftop of aircon units… dark and depressing. No real complaints given the price paid, but I definitely wouldn’t stay here for longer than a night. All in all, an okay experience. Decent enough for a one night stopover, but that would be about it for me personally.
