• Great location for shops, bars & restaurants. A contemporary hotel that doesn't lack warmth.
• I can't really fault it

“The hotel is in a great location for all the amenities within the city. It is a light and contemporary hotel, and where some hotels in this style can lack warmth, this doesn't. The Staff are friendly and helpful, the 'check in' was quick and hassle free, ”

• Centrally located area, felt comfortable walking at night
• The bed was a bit uncomfortable

“The City Inn is in a very nice section of town. It felt very safe walking day and night. Lots of nice restaurants in the area. The walk to/from the train station was easily manageable even with luggage since it is almost entirely a pedestrianized area. The hotel room was very clean and well kept - although the bed could've been a bit more comfortable. The hotel held our luggage for us after check out so we could go to the BM&AG (art museum) which was also within walking distance. The hotel staff helped with directions and offered suggestions for connections for bus and train routes to area attractions. A bit on the pricey side, but every convenience was offered so we felt it was worth it.”

• Modern facilities all in an excellent working order.
• The bedroom was fairly small & the wardrobes were only just big enough for one night!

“Having booked our room online, using our debit card, we were surprised to find that the hotel did not accept debit cards as a method of payment. It was fortunate that we happened to have sufficient cash on us to pay the room rate in advance, otherwise we would have been in severe trouble! We do not use credit cards. The basket of snacks in our hotel room was not stocked fully - some of the items on the list were missing when we checked in.”

• Excellent food, cleanliness, lovely modern bathroom and decor and friendly staff,
• Hated the rock solid bed

“Could have been excellent had the bed not been so hard, had to sleep on folded quilt. Neither of us could sleep at all and suffered pressure point bruising. Requested a quiet room but placed in corner nearest 3 point road junction, move request satisfied.”

• Small room, bad view, no ashtray, limited satellite

“Would have preferred a larger room as previous visit, did request the same room number when booking but the request was ignored. In general Im happy with the stay at the hotel and will return in the future as the staff were very helpful and friendly.”

• clean and modern
• long wait to check in

“only one person on reception at 5:00 pm saturday night, who took forever to deal with people. although first impressions last this was countered by the cleanliness and modernity of the rooms. if the check in staff were anything to go by we were glad to have no further contact with any other hotel staff”
