I picked Hotel 53 for a two night stay based on previous reviews and value for money, and I wasn't disappointed. The hotel looks as it does in the pictures so contemporary decor and very clean. We stayed in a standard double which was plenty big enough for the two of us and had all the amenities needed for a... more

this is the 4th time weve stayed, gradual improvement, huge room, very comfortable, 1st mornings breakfast very poor, food was left heated to long, but after that it was better. The 1 failing this place has is the "impersonal" touch. the foyer doesnt help. more

I ordered room service as I arrive quite late and... more

It is clean, modern and pretty much exactly as it looks on the website. The rooms are very comfortable, the only slight downside being... more

My husband booked this hotel for our 1st wedding anniversary and on the booking he mentioned that we were celebrating it wasn't even acknowledged. My mother had given us a bottle of champagne to take with us. We rang reception for some ice and some flutes to be told the ice machine is on the 2nd floor and said nothing... more
