Over the past five years I’ve stayed in the Apollo three times and I always get the same room. It is clean and tidy with an excellent bathroom and shower. The bed is two singles put together, it’s ok, but if you turn over too quickly you may find yourself on the floor!
Breakfast buffet is good, the bacon a bit too greasy and is of the “shaved pig” variety rather than proper back bacon, but it is what it is.
Service at the bar is good, the staff young and friendly if the cocktails are limited and preprepared.
There is one major and inexplicable problem. The coffee machine. There is only one which takes an age to fill a cup and regularly runs out of coffee, water or both. On Monday, despite being in the restaurant for an hour it was impossible to get past superannuated guests getting three or four coffees at a time! Honestly guys and girls, I know you’re trying out Hipster chic, but no coffee in the morning goes beyond all your fancy trends, fashions or attitudes. But another machine (or two!) for the sanity of your guests!
