The Studley Hotel

The room was smart, spacious and clean, with a good sized TV, ironing gear and tea and coffee. The bathroom had a bath and a shower over it. The decor and modern finish gave the hotel a luxurious feel, and the staff were polite and attentive. It’s right in the city centre, so we could walk everywhere. My wife and I paid £119 for one night in an Executive room, plus £12 to park for the day. The bed was the one disappointment: it was advertised as king size, but was actually two singles pushed together. That’s usually fine, but I’d paid extra specifically for a king. At checkout, staff told me only Executive Superior rooms have proper king sized beds. Still, we had a pleasant stay.

The location was great, and the restaurant looked lovely. We only stayed one night. The room was a little old fashioned but very clean, the shower was great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

We slept well in a lovely bed, and the location was brilliant. The room itself was cold, though, and the shower flooded the bathroom quite alarmingly. Every footstep and slamming door from nearby rooms came through as if they were right beside the bed.

Perfect spot for town, and the room was clean. We had a four poster bed, but the duvet cover didn’t fit the duvet properly. The room felt dark, with rather dull decor. A couple of odd things happened too: a small plastic box slid off the dressing table by itself, and later, while my husband was in the bathroom, a shampoo bottle fell from the shelf onto the floor. We told reception, but they said there hadn’t been any previous reports.
