I would not recommend
The air conditioning was broken and stuck on 28 degrees, the fan in the room had one speed (the remote for adjusting was lost) and was really loud. The staff said they would fix the aircon remotely but didn’t or couldn’t. We wanted to shower and leave early as we slept so poorly, all the water was absolutely boiling (even from the cold tap) until about 7am when others got up. Really very strange. There was no one on reception when we checked out. All in all, great location but I wouldn’t return as it was highly let down by technical faults and issues resulting in an awful nights sleep.

One night at the cube
Check in process was fine. There is no parking on site for guests, though I was offered a 20% discount to park elsewhere. Room was comfortable but hot especially in the early hours. There is no A/C though 2 fans were provided. The carpets in the hallway appeared dirty whether it was the colour or wear.

Ok but no heat or air con
A nice enough city hotel until you realise the air con and heating arent working. We were given a plug in radiator because we were so cold. But without the air con there's little air circulation either. Very helpful staff and a clean room, but did have coffee stains on the carpet. Really needs some investment to get it back up to scratch.

The hotel was dugusting, carpets were dirty. Tge shower was leaking and would not maintain a hot water temperature. The hotel bedroom heating eas not working, they promised heater but had none and said they can only offer extra blankets to keep warm. The hotel conditions and service was completely diabolical.

Hotel was great. However, the safe was not working in our room and there was no air con as it was faulty - but we wasn't t informed at check in- 3 fans were left in the room for us to use. Staff was very good and tried to help.

We had an ok stay at the cube - the standard rooms are large and clean with great views. Unfortunately the aircon was not working in the whole building, which no one told us about on check in - they just said they were working on it and had provided fans, but the room was very warm. The night team mentioned they could manually switch air con on in our room, but this didn’t happen. Breakfast on the top floor was a la carte, great view and food but limited options.

Nice full English breakfast and continental choices. I was there on a quiet day but I would hope that the bar stays open a little later and there would be a tea maid and coffee machine accompanying the breakfast. I imagine making your own cup of tea on a busy day would cause quite a queue. The rooms are tired and could do with a renovation but clean. The air con wasn't cooling in my room.

Nice hotel in a good location.
This trip was booked for an exhibition with 2 colleagues. Because I made the booking I was upgraded to a suite which was lovely and spacious with a balcony overlooking the canal and the city. This was a lovely room. The only downside was even as residents we were not allowed a drink after 10pm except on the Thursday night when we were served because there was a private party. We mentioned this to the bar manager who stated they were being served because they had booked the room until 11pm. I pointed out to him that between myself and my 2 colleagues we had booked rooms for 12 nights at a cost of £2,000
