    Good overall - but improvements needed with the Observatory staff
    Quality of drinks in the downstairs bar was good, room was super, cupcakes for my wife’s birthday were a great touch. The staff at the front of desk were brilliant.
    The staff in the Observatory closed the bar at 11:15 despite the info online saying midnight. This was very annoying because we went up to get a nightcap and there was already people there drinking. This felt like very poor form, especially from a hotel we have come to expect good things from. We stayed in a cheaper room this time so it didn’t bother me as much - but I can’t imagine paying for a larger suit and being told they’re winding down the bar early - you would feel so ripped off.

    Relaxing bedrooms, friendly staff, inadequate lifts to rooms.
    The rooms were extremely comfortable and quiet, location very central. Staff were very friendly.
    Unfortunately there was an issue with the lifts. There were long queues to get to the rooms and we ended up carrying our luggage up 10 flights of stairs, there was a long wait for them again in the morning so we couldn’t use them again and other residents were also complaining. I don’t usually leave negative feedback but given the price we paid I feel that it needs to be addressed. We did raise it with staff who apologised and said one of the lifts was being maintained so perhaps we were just unlucky.

    Room for improvement
    Great location and view, the observatory bae is amazing for cocktails.
    I was very disappointed with our recent stay. The rooms were extremely small, and the heating in our room was not working properly. Despite leaving it on, the room was freezing. When we contacted reception, they were not particularly helpful, and we were left to deal with it ourselves. Thankfully, it warmed up slightly later in the night, but this was far from acceptable. We were also very frustrated with our experience at the Observatory Bar. As residents, we were told we would be prioritised, yet we waited over 40 minutes to be escorted upstairs. We were repeatedly told it was very busy and that someone was on their way to collect us. The staff member we spoke to was rude and unhelpful. After waiting such a long time, we decided to go up ourselves (despite being told guests must be escorted). When we arrived, there were at least 20 free tables, and we were seated immediately. Unfortunately, because of the long delay, it was near closing time, and we were only able to have one drink. This experience really put a dampener on our night. Overall, the level of service and room quality did not reflect the price we paid. We expected a much higher standard and left feeling disappointed. We were also not asked how our stay was at check-out, so we did not feel comfortable raising these issues at the time. I felt it was important to share this feedback directly, as it did not reflect the standard we were expecting.
