The Town Hotel

It's right in the middle of town, roughly equidistant from both the bus and railway stations. The receptionist was polite and helpful. There was a bathroom, wardrobe, chest of drawers, comfy double bed and a television of sorts that had clearly been recently replaced judging by the hasty repaint job on the wall (though an online-only TV isn't necessarily an upgrade). Lobby was dark and quiet but well decorated. I appreciated that security beyond the door to the rooms was treated as paramount.

There were no spoons or stirrers for the tea, until I was allowed to borrow one of the former after repeated requests. I also preferred the old TVs that just switched straight on instead of needing to warm up, and went directly into linear channels instead of a home screen. The bathroom floor was on a lower level than the bedroom. There's a sign warning about this above the door as you enter but not as you exit. There was no toilet roll holder in the bathroom itself either. In the morning, a staff member knocked on my door at 11:10 asking why I hadn't checked out yet so I gathered my things and left five minutes later, even though the reservation clearly states that I should've been allowed to stay until 11:30 There's no artificial way of cooling the room either, so in the summer you either need to sweat it out or else leave the window open and deal with all the town centre noise.

Clean, close to where we needed to be.

Very clean and friendly.

The bathroom and bedroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is central and easy to walk to venues in the area.

The room was listed as deluxe but im not sure what had made this deluxe as it was quite a basic room. There was only 1 set of towels for 2 people which for 1 night wasn't a problem but for a longer stay this wouldn't be adequate. Our room was unbearably hot and due to this my sleep was very disturbed. There were no fans in the room. I asked at the reception if they had a fan but unfortunately they didn't have any. The room smelt heavily of cigarette smoke which was unpleasant. Being a central location, the noise from the nightlife was very loud and lasted until about 3am (not the fault of the hotel) but I would recommend taking ear plugs. There are some very deep and steep steps up to the rooms so be mindful of this if you have mobility issues.
