Second stay at The Alan. First visit, great service, second the opposite. It took 5 attempts to order some olives at the bar, and other guests were leaving due to poor service. Not much better at breakfast service, incorrect orders, having to ask multiple times for drinks, and staff sloping off to chat with reception staff at any opportunity.

So this is a tough one to write. The property is amazing very industrial feel, the staff are simply brilliant friendly professional nothing a problem lots could learn from this. The bar great selection of food and drinks and service with not just a smile a huge laugh. Cleanliness honestly the domestic team deserve and award for the way the place is kept. But…. The air conditioning unit in my bedroom when it went on sounded like an aircraft taking off and sadly woke me at 3am and 5.30am and well as the point of a hotel is to get some sleep (which was easy in the huge comfy bed) I didn't and meant a grumpy day. If you are a deep sleeper go for this place I want to go back but I’m not sure cause do the air con unit.

Hotel and staff are great. Nothing too much trouble. Beautiful decor and interesting interior design. Cleverly though out. Sustainable interiors. Rooms are warm and cosy. Sheets, pillows and bedding are perfect. Nice touch with proper coffee bags instead of instant. Bottled water in room. Soak brand body wash, shampoo and conditioner in bathroom. Great location. Close to shopping area, China Town and Canal Street. Museum/art gallery just across the road (closed Sundays and Mondays). Hotel smells divine. We will be back. Thank you to all at The Alan Hotel.

Given a room that had no A/C a small ineffective fan. Water from the shower was scalding hot with no cold. The hair dryer did not work. Room was the size of a shoebox. Of the two lifts, one was out of order during the whole 4 day stay. Food selection was sparse and overpriced and the location was outside a busy bus stop. I would not reccomend this hotel.
