The Rex - formerly Hotel Gotham

Perfect location, 10 minute walk to anywhere we wanted to go. Room was luxurious, well maintained, clean and with excellent facilities. Staff were friendly and personable.

Really clean and cozy bedrooms. Location was great too. Staff so welcoming.

Nice spacious room, well decorated and fitted. Fantastic shower, could have stayed in that all day long. Like Niagara falls. Only really used the hotel for sleeping and breakfast. The breakfast was OK, nothing special. The omelette had far too much cheese in it for my liking, and the bottom of the salt pot fell off when I picked it up, much to the amusement of the other diners and my colleagues. Personally, I'd prefer the cooked breakfast selection to be a buffet style as per the continental breakfast items, rather than a fixed menu.

The rather loud ambient music in the room was very confusing after rolling in from work at 2.30am. Eventually located it to the TV as the source, but the TV wasn't actually on in any detectable way. Switched it off and thankfully it stopped. Also, why stock a beer fridge with bottles, and no bottle opener? If there was a bottle opener, it was very well hidden. Gave up in the end.

The room was a good size and clean. Drink upon arrival.

They put is in a disabled room for some reason - so the sink was very low and awkward to use. The girl on reception was dying of a cold and spreading it to all the guests - she should not have been on reception handing out keys or at the very least should’ve been wearing a mask. Not a 5-star experience. No bottled water in the room. The wifi is also non-secure, once connected I was able to view lots of other guests devices on the same network - a ‘hackers delight’ - client isolation required. Very worrying.
