I had specifically requested a quiet room as I am a light sleeper. I discovered my room was on the first floor directly above the taxi rank. The receptionist told me quite simply that all rooms were sold out and that changing to another room was not possible; this in spite of my having booked the room a month in advance. However, the receptionist did say that if I wanted to 'upgrade' by paying an additional £45 per night, a room change was in fact possible. Clearly she was not interested in customer service, but only in sales. Since, as I determined later, my room fare had been booked from my credit card immediately on an irrevocable basis, instead of at the hotel as had been indicated on the website, it became clear the hotel figured they had the upper hand. After a busy week with little sleep owing to the noise outside my room, I was shattered. Though I've stayed at this hotel numerous times before, I doubt very sincerely that I will stay here again. By the way, I consider £20 per day for internet access an effrontery.
