Alvera Court

We were disappointed with our stay at Alvera Court. Firstly we had booked through booking.com where we were told that breakfast was included for the price. However, on arrival we were told that breakfast was not included and not available. Secondly, both our beds were also uncomfortable with foam chunks placed upon mattresses and led to sore backs. The heating also seemed rather frugal. The location, however, was good and the room spacious, and the bathroom though very small was functional.

Patricia the host is lovely, very sweet. There is off road free parking which is good. Very central easy walk to exhibition centre and shops. However, we thought the breakfast at £10 was too expensive. We had room 5 and the bed was horrendous, there was a mattress on a mattress so no support at all resulting in a very poor nights sleep. Also only demerara (brown) sugar available despite asking for tea. Great TV though and lovely furnishings except for the random pictures eg of a Pharaoh, African fishermen!

We booked at the last minute and were welcomed warmly by a charming and helpful young man. Nothing was too much trouble. The room (11) was bright and airy, the beds were comfortable and the tea tray well stocked. The en-suite was a bit on the small side but perfectly functional.
