“The Magnum Hotel provides fuss-free accommodation near Sunderland's attractions. Its grab-and-go breakfast suits travelers on the move. While some aspects show wear, the proximity to transport and free parking are definite advantages.

faulty key cardlate night disturbance
The key card machine was faulty. I had to request assistance to enter my room each time. children were running around the corridors late into the night. despite the presence of people drinking in the restaurant area past midnight, staff seemed unable to address it. the breakfast was very poor, especially considering the high price paid for the night.

impressed by the hospitality

polite receptionisthelpful staffnoise issue
adam, who greeted me at reception, was good. he was very polite and helpful. he carried my suitcase up two flights of stairs, a real credit to the hotel. special thanks to chris at the reception for providing food upon my late arrival. he was kind, helpful.
my room was near the staircase and it was noisy throughout the night with people moving their suitcases up and down at all hours. the sound insulation could be better. it was a minor inconvenience.
