Funky Monk Hotel

Room was clean and tidy up

Room was close to main road wake up 5 in morning couldn't go sleep after that and check out early morning

Beautiful hotel in perfect location for work stay. Comfortable, warm welcome and modern. Really liked the hotel and staff were amazing. Short trip this time but perfect location.

Breakfast start time late for business travellers. A continental coffee/ fruit option would have been great. No coffee in room but I didn’t ask and am sure that would have been resolved if I had.

The staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic quality, piping hot (you’d be surprised how many hotels can’t serve a hot plate of food) and the service was perfect.

On arrival, I had to call the hotel and they had to move a car to provide me with a pre-booked parking space. I was staying to attend a local funeral and the delay in getting parked meant that I was then running late. Check-in was seamless and very friendly and if I didn’t have all the other points to raise, I actually wouldn’t mention it. The fridge was noisy all through the night, there was another fan noise running through the night, I tried turning the bathroom fan on and off, the air con, I have no idea where it was coming from but it was loud. The bathroom had been cleaned well but the shower had an awful musty smell. The mirror in the room was in the wrong place making it hard to blow dry my hair. (I’d swap the mirror and the picture to opposite sides to solve this) It looked as though there used to be a full length mirror that had been smashed and not replaced so it was just a framed black board. Replacing the mirror may help. Although I was warned at the point of booking and when I arrived that there was a band and I may hear some music, I wasn’t expecting the whole room to vibrate with the bass. I had noise cancelling ear buds in but it was sooooo loud. If I was staying at the hotel to enjoy the facilities it would have been great and I’d have been downstairs dancing, but I came back to the room at around 10 hoping to sleep at some point before midnight and it wasn’t possible. I actually said to the guy that showed me to my room that I’m not a complainer, and yet here I am. I paid a lot of money for the room, had it been a lot less money I wouldn’t be so fussy, but at £235 for the night and an extra £15 for breakfast (including early check in and a parking space) it definitely wasn’t good value for money.

Nice and comfy bed

the hotel was extremely noisy, I was kept up for the majority of the night with traffic noise

Great location & great vibe everyone of the staff were extremely helpful and professional.
