Palace Court Hotel

The worst part of the accommodations were the beds. They were so very uncomfortable sleep was near impossible. There were several pest control boxes scattered around the room. The heater provided for the room was inadequate to warm the room. I asked the agent behind the desk if it were possible to exchange mattresses; explained how painful the beds were. No attempt was made to better the situation nor was there a desire shown to compensate for the dire circumstances. (97533824)

The location.

The room was cramped with furniture. The room was drafty. The beds were in abmissal shape.....the mattresses were so worn you could feel the metal springs poking you.

Basically it was Xmas night and i was exceptionally drunk when i arrived very late carrying a folding chair, having attended a party at a friend's flat(where more chair action was required to acccommodate all revellers). The check in was simple and swift and check out mercifully late. In between, i appreciated the excellent shower pressure and slightly worn but clean-smelling towels, the warmth from the adjustable central heating, the comfy bed and the view from the room. Breakfast was a fair range of offerings -'continental plus' (ie with hard boiled eggs available in addition to the usual fare) - washed down with copious decent hot coffee. Throughout my stay no staff members (or guests for that matter) gave me any funny looks or attitude despite my obvious progression through various states from incoherence to staggering hangover, and all were attentive yet unobtrusive. However as i vaguely remember being sent by the man on reception for 'a short walk down the road' to 'a nicer hotel' when my minicab had dropped me off outside the Palace Court it is entirely possible i am reviewing the wrong establishment, and i did not take any publishable photographs to verify one way or the other. Nonetheless, a fine stay. (97955290)

view, location, price, included breakfast - all good.

the bathroom was slightly underattended to: there was a long dark hair - clearly someone else's as i am fair - on the shower wall. this is the first and clearest sign of poor cleaning.

Cleanliness; nice staff; excellent location; good value for money

Breakfast is poor. Bacon & scramble eggs could be provided as no significant additional cost would be increased.
