The cost-effectiveness of hotels in Great Britain cannot be compared with those in China. If the price factor is not taken into account, this hotel is probably one of the best hotels in Guerra. The thing I want to complain about most about this stay is the hotel gym. It is squeezed into a corner underground. The room is huge. What makes me even more disappointed is that there is no treadmill...

I like the service very much in a purely British hotel. I have to check out at 11 o'clock because the flight is still early. I negotiated with the hotel for a late checkout. The hotel originally said that it would charge 15 pounds for every hour of delay. Later, the hotel paid the delay fee. It’s worth recommending if you don’t need it.

Friendly reception at the counters (both front and level 7) except the lad manning what I think is the auto check in counters. Cheer up. Clean room. More varieties of food compared to Yotel Edinburgh. No kettle, coffee (tea) in the room unfortunately.

I Love this hotel. The receptionist Julie really made our trip very special. She found d out immediately were celebrating and made everything super special for us. She is an asset to the business for sure! Room was clean enough and tidy. But what a view! Staff in the red sky bar were a little lethargic and nowhere near as attentive.

Arrived at the hotel and the room was not ready which was fair enough, as I was very early. They let me put my bags into the storage compartment. Advised to return at check in time. When I arrived there was a problem with the pre payment I had made and they seemed unable to proceed unless I paid them again. It was not great service at all and left me out of pocket more so.

Another great stay. Housekeeping turned up at 10am which was disappointing cause check out isn’t till 12pm, so made me feel a bit rushed to get out. Heaters in room don’t stay above 26c even though the dial goes to 32c and me being naturally cold meant I woke up quite a bit during the night as the room wasn’t warm enough. Highly recommend the hotel, great staff and great pool with Steam room and gym. Only real disappointing thing about the hotel is breakfast is like £18 and I’m not a big breakfast person just toast and coffee so it ain’t worth it for me I think there should be a cheaper option for light eaters.

I’ve stayed at several Easyhotels across the country and you know what you’re going to get. It looks like this one was refurbished quite recently as it was in good nick. Paid £36 for a room. Had one without a window and to be honest I’ve got used to not having one. Good quality air con unit, bed was comfy and bathroom clean. Would definitely stay again, it’s spot on for what I need.

Good location, clean and comfortable. I accidentally booked a twin with no window and immediately noticed once I had paid. I immediately phoned and a really lovely man on the phone switched us to a double room ( same price online ) , he offered a free upgrade to double with window. Upon checking in we were told we had been downgraded to a double with no window. A heater was offered as rooms were cold. Windowless room wasn't too bad, just a little cramped. But for the price and location we still thought it was great value for money.

Fabulous location close to the centre, the M8 and close to the open top bus tour stops, we had 3 nights bed and breakfast at this location, reception staff were friendly on arrival and later in the evening when we were socialising in the bar area, the breakfast staff were amazing and informative in the dining area, the breakfast was a buffet and had loads on offer, the housekeeping team were amazing when we required extras for the room. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we will be back in the future!

Great location. Stayed here before. Staff are friendly but it's really let down in other areas. Our room was filthy. Bed was fresh but the desk was sticky, carpet looked like it hadn't been hoovered in weeks and when I went to plug in my phone beside the bed there was the remains of someone's peperami snack lying on the floor. Bathroom had a brown poo mark on the loo seat (which we cleaned!) And the loo floor was covered in long black hairs. I am platinum blonde and my friend has long dyed red hair... We told reception who offered to comp us breakfast but we had already paid for it so they just took the feedback. We asked for an iron and ironing board, and they were really pitiful appliances. They could do with an upgrade for sure. Oh and during breakfast the coffee machine was fully broken and was being taken apart...
