Lords Hostel & Pub

Me and my sister recently stayed at the Lords Hotel, which offered both highs and lows, providing a mixed experience overall. Firstly, the hotel's location is undeniably fantastic, allowing us easy access to various attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. This convenience added a significant positive aspect to our stay. The staff at the hotel were genuinely nice and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, which contributed positively to the overall atmosphere of the place. However, there were a few surprises during our stay. When we arrived at the hotel, we were informed that our room was in another building down the road. While this wasn't a major inconvenience, it would have been preferable to know this beforehand. The real challenge came when we discovered that the building lacked a lift, making it a bit strenuous to climb several flights of stairs with our suitcases. Upon entering the room, I noticed it was smaller than I had anticipated. Nonetheless, it was relatively clean, except for a small oversight - breadcrumbs under the portable heater and some hair on the bathroom floor. The most significant concern was with the windows. They appeared to be in need of maintenance, as a noticeable draft allowed cold air to continuously seep into the room. This made it challenging to maintain a comfortable temperature, which impacted our overall sleep quality. On a positive note, the hotel did offer the opportunity to leave our luggage in an unattended room free of charge. However, we opted to pay a nominal fee (£3 per luggage) for the staff to control and secure them. This extra service was worth the peace of mind and added to the considerate nature of the staff. In conclusion, the hotel's prime location, friendly staff, and thoughtful luggage service make it a reasonable choice for those looking to explore the city. However, potential guests should be aware of the room distribution across buildings, the absence of a lift, and the need for improvements in room maintenance to ensure a more comfortable stay.
