We had a great stay at eLoft. Comfy beds, great extra facilities, good service, and everything you could want for an easy accomodation, (and more). We had a loft room and a downstairs sleeper too, enough room to sleep four, but with just the two of us adults if was so much space, A great kitchenette and ensuite bathroom each. So suitable if one of you is tall for the downstairs bed and one is very short-as me I took the top loft room(with an angled ceiling on the bed end of room- was not so suitable for a tall person-children would also have loved its features and angled corners to play and hide in. Modern feel to decorations- as i believe it was not long refurbished and was a former restored factory perhaps. Pictures on tripad. here show many examples of the loft rooms, but no complaints as it also had a lovely large balcony with enclosed windows to it and door as well, good aeration was possible, and kept rain out while airing. Fridge/freezer too. . microwave,hob, crockery etc etc. Firm mattress for both very large adult beds. The only things that could have been better were we had no complimentary coffee or tea provided in room for if you arrived to check in late and were so thirsty(we frankly thought that was standard everywhere-especially if one is given a kitchenette with mugs and utensils-ODD to not give us tea bag or coffee??. I am not complaining due to all the added extras mentioned (just keep one with you for such a late situ).We found a convenience shop and also a huge hyper-supermarket both very near for walking to. It was plain modern design, no noise from building sites( though the area is being regenerated), No neigbour or room noises or bars close by- all seemed to be sound proofed out. Slept so well. Breakfast was a few steps round to corner Hotel with a token provided by eLoft- Very good value for full/continental with all choices. Would definately stay again and recommend. The floor to ceiling curtains were strange as they could not be slid open or closed easily at all- though the maids did do, we thought a pole- stick may be a solution, but not provided in room, but stood on a chair was difficult even for the tallest person- this was a minor thing if curtain poles annoy you!. I liked the loft beams design of raw tree trucks- and angular wall tiling in line with angled ceiling- all modern approaches to fake or cover actual beams and made loft very appealing. There were extra facilities in hotel but cannot comment as we did not use really - just saw a sauna and rest room door. Asked for an iron and service was delivered immediately. For the stars it was given is much more than some may expect. We felt more space than one would expect in a five or four star expensive hotel- no crammed feeling and massive size of beds too. So the short walk to old town or bus ride as well were worth doing. Worth staying here if seeing Old Town was your first priority- as us we were there a week - and hardly felt much need to see the new town north of river,
