The bed was very clean but uncomfortable (rock hard) However, I didn’t appreciate that the toiletries were not changed… so we had the mini body cream that had been used and had someone else’s hair in it… that was pretty disgusting. The location is excellent. It wasn’t too noisy, and there was a fan (no a/c). Overall it was fine for the price paid but I think the cleaners need to be informed…

Smart, clean, new hotel and good value for money. Conveniently located on the high street. We stayed on a Friday and the High Street is very very noisy until the wee small hours. The lads like to ride at speed on noisy motor bikes in groups along the High Street.

Whilst the room was clean and well kept, the lack of air-con in the room made for an awful night sleep as the room was stuffy and uncomfortable. We were supplied a fan which did absolutely nothing to help unless you pressed your face up against it! My partner even had to get into a cold shower at 5am just to cool down. I would definitely recommend the hotel investing in air-cons for the rooms as it was not a pleasant experience at all which was a shame!

Got into the room and the walls were pretty dirty. The shower door was difficult to open/close. In the summer, we had to call up for someone to bring a fan and hair dryer to the room. I thought these would be essentials in the room already? No AC which made the rooms absolutely sweltering. Service was good however when asked for the bits, they came within 5/10 mins.

It’s on HighStreet across from several bars and clubs, so it’s expected to be noisy. There are a lot of drug addicts and homeless people in the area which can be loud at night. The room and hotel itself is amazing - staff lovely and everywhere was cleaned regularly. What I miss the most is air condition. The rooms only come with a fan and when it’s 27 degrees outside, it’s impossible to cool down so sleeping at night is challenging. Other than that, I cannot fault anything.

The property was awkward to get to. The check in was not very welcoming. You have to check in at The George over the road and we had to go back in and ask just where our hotel was. The door scan cover was missing, as was the toilet roll holder. The TV had a mind of its own and randomly turned itself on and off. The balcony was covered in bird droppings not what you would expect from a room described as deluxe and I would have expected air conditioning as a standard.

Stay at The George rather than this property if available. We stayed our first night at the George and it was wonderful. After checking into our room at the Nicholas, we had to change rooms as the room was so warm and so noisy from the bar across the street.

Not the best
The hotel was far less what we expected. It says the hotel is 4 star rated, not sure how. The reception is in the other sister hotel , the George across the street. This was not a problem...we just thought that the George was being a little misleading with there description. The St Nicholas hotel ... is not a hotel, its a block of apartments. The room was quite small, with a tiny shower. Im not big at all and i struggled to move around in the shower. We had no shower gel, also when we asked for clean towels they never arrived. The room was scruffy with loads of scuff marks all the walls. All this needed was a little elbow grease to remove . personally we would not stay here again for the price.

This is a lovely modern centrally located hotel. The only issue was the water pressure in the shower was poor.
