Had a great stay at the clocktower! Everything was beautiful and clean. The reception area itself is very impressive. The only downfall was housekeeping. On the day we checked in, we received turn down service at night. Our room was left one tony’s chocolate (which is my favourite) between 2 of us. My brother and his partner did not receive anything even though they were just next to us. The following day, we didn’t receive housekeeping in the morning or the evening. Not sure why. Neither of our rooms did which was disappointing.

Staff were really lovely, place is v comfy , great location... but the night we stayed was a bit chaotic. Room service order wasn't taken so over 90 mins waiting, blocked sink, then room double booked and another couple walked in on us! Staff were brilliant in rectifying issues - on any other night it would no doubt be great.

Beautiful hotel and our room was huge with a lovely high ceiling. Our room was slightly noisy in the night but that’s to be expected in a city on a Saturday night. Staff friendly and helpful especially when we got lost trying to find our room after using a different lift. Perfect location for the theatre

The hotel itself is lovely- love the bar area and the hotel lobby. The building has been tastefully renovated. The room was very comfortable. One minor complaint, there was no dressing table area / mirror where you could sit to do make up, style hair etc. the only mirrors were a full length mirror in the room with no nearby socket, or the bathroom mirror.
