The Dukes

To brannalarmer gikk på kvelden etter at vi hadde sovnet. Det var Halloween arrangement nede, og røykmaskinene fikk brannvarslerne til å gå av. Mye bråk i gangene - ikke hyggelig. Frokosten var veldig trist. Ble servert på rommet - som var så lite at du måtte sitte i sengen og spise. Cornflakes, wetabix, og noe smørepålegg. Triste greier. Treger på at jeg bestillte frokost. Ingenting varmt av drikke eller egg var med i kurven. Jeg skippet frokosten en dag og gikk på McDonals i nærheten. Reiser ikke igjen på samme hotell.

Staff were friendly. Building works going on, so not as clean as usual in main hall way. The stairs are wooden, so it was noisy at night when other visitors came in. The doors do not close softly, so this was noisy until midnight. Free parking with plenty of spaces available was very helpful, as parking in the area is residential. Room was compact (as advised in advert) but limited hanging space. Tea, coffee, milk and loo paper not replenished daily. Fridge was at ground level and hard to open at base of bed. TV did not work. Radiator heating could not be turned down, or off, so room very hot requiring window left open (so noise pollution as near to student accommodation) Bathroom tap kept coming off. The bathroom needs a new towel radiator or hanging rail that is off the ground for the large towels - these had to be hung over the shower and there was no hanging hook in the bathroom for clothing, only a windowsill. Though the window was frosted, it did need a blind for privacy as the room is overlooked and visible when light on at night. Hoping this constructive feedback helps the hotel to improve the room.
