We stayed at the Comet Hotel for 2 Nights which we booked through Secret Escapes. The hotel was perfectly located next to transport as well as a large shopping mall. The room was modern and lovely.  …

Hotel nicely situated. Room was good size and clean. Restaurant very nice. On checkout receptionist tried to charge us too much. When this was queried she asked if I wanted her to do the maths for me. I declined and explained our package and the pre authorisation charge. She then agreed that we were indeed owed a refund

Accommodation 4 star, service 3 star. Rooms are nice, comfortable and clean, better that a premier in or travel lodge. Location is perfect with free parking. Service is very average, some waiters were wearing tackies, with gum and phones out, not very attentive and slow to respond, hence the overall 3 star, but we would return as the location is excellent.

Stopped off here en route further south. Hotel easy to find from the A1 directory opposite the Galleria centre. Room clean and spacious. Restaurant nice with good food. Bit of an issue on checkout when we were overcharged. When I questioned this the lady offered to 'do the maths for you'. I politely declined and pointed out the errors which she blamed on others and congtatulated me for noticing !!!!!!

What a superb find. We booked this as a stop over before our onwards journey to Heathrow. It's a stylish 1920/1930 building & I can't help but think of the change that this hotel has been witness to over the years. The rooms are a decent size & modernly decorated. The breakfast was great too as was the service from reception through to the dining staff. An excellent price as well. Definitely coming back for our post-London stop overs.

We booked this so we would have access to WB Studio; we waited too late to book tickets the normal way. The hotel was frankly gross. The carpet and bedding were stained, and there was an unnatural lip to get up into the bathroom, so we stubbed our toes several times. The shower only had half a door, so the water pooled on the floor near the toilet. The staff was friendly, but that didn't make up for how gross it felt being there. It was nice to be able to walk to a mall nearby.

Ruined our honeymoon do not recommendWe stayed here just after getting married on the 8th of augustThe fire alarm went off approximately 8 times at midnight, it would go on and off obviously extremely loud. My husband who works in fire safety had to go help the team sort it out as they did not have a clue what they were doing hence why it went off 8 times. He managed to fix it and stop the fire alarm. As a token of gratitude for his help, we were told to contact the manager for a free meal and stay. Well we have been trying to contact the manager for almost a month and still nothing, which is just rudeAdditionally, I left a brand new handmade pyjama dress at the hotel which was made by a relative. I called instantly for it and they could not find it and I have called everyday since. There is no sign of it, I am disgusted that the team could have thrown this brand new and sentimental piece into the bin and I have emailed images of it.I would not recommend to stay here and this is the only part we regret about our whole wedding
