Izzy Hotel

Great location for us, very close to the venue the band was playing that night. Access was easy, overnight parking is available at the nearby shopping center relatively cheap. Rooms were clean and comfortable though the noise from the night club below was ongoing untill about 3am.

The host was hard to contact. There are multiple phone numbers listed on the site and only one actually works. When I phoned pre booking to ask about parking I was hung up on without answer.

Location is close to the local metro station and there's a cheap car park just around the corner from it (it's an Aldi car park but you can pay for 24 hours for just £4.60). The place itself is secure with a coded key entry on the street, then key entry for the first floor to separate the upstairs pub from the hotel rooms, and then your individual room key. The rooms were nice and clean, comfy beds, and the private toilet/shower facilities were modern and clean as well.

The ONLY thing to criticise - and this isn't the fault of the hotel at all - is that the hotel is two stories above a pub/club which stays open until about 2 or 3am on Friday's and Saturday's, so it is a bit noisy at night. However, in saying that, it wasn't too loud for me personally, and if you have a pair for Loop ear plugs or similar it's easy to get to sleep regardless.

The only downside was that the room was located near a late night club...but we knew that when booking the place, so not really a problem.

We didnt realise to get back in late at night we essentially had to place our hand over the whole keypad to "wake it up". Cost us a few minutes and had to ask the bouncers next door.

The stairs, but it’s an old building. Can’t expect to put a lift in.
