Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Pendulum Hotel guests frequently highlight the convenient location, just a short walk from Piccadilly Station. The hotel provides comfortable beds, tea and coffee facilities, and biscuits in the rooms. Many appreciate having a bar and restaurant on-site, with some enjoying the outdoor courtyard. While some guests have found the rooms a bit small and noted the lack of air conditioning, they still appreciate the hotel's cleanliness and good value for money.

good stay, some minor hiccup

friendly staff double room power shower

the staff at check-in was friendly. my classic double room was adequate. the facilities in the bathroom included a bath and a power shower. i found two sets of towels, a hairdryer, and a fan in the room. it had everything i needed.

the heating controls proved inconvenient. i had to select a heating duration from a panel behind the curtains. the options were 2, 6, or 8 hours before it switched off. this occurred in the middle of the night, resulting in a cold room.

clean room thoughtful touch easy access

The room was clean and it had good condition. I found extra tea bags readily available at reception, a simple, thoughtful touch. The hotel's location allowed for easy access to nearby attractions.

The window could not be opened fully, but this was a very minor issue.

Uneven experience, some issues encountered

The location proved convenient, being near transportation.

My room faced what looked to be a loading area. I heard considerable noise early each morning, seemingly from deliveries or maintenance, and it was disruptive. SLEEP proved difficult because of this.
