Room was clean and beds were comfortable. We happened to be there on a hot summer day, and there is no air conditioning in the rooms, which would be expected with an older hotel. The rooms were hot, but the hotel staff is very responsive in providing extra fans. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful room in historic building. Excellent location, walkable to the Mermaid Quay area. One downside was that the jacuzzi tub/ shower was not accessible to my elderly parents. There were no handlebars in the tub area. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Coal Exchange is a beautiful hotel built in the late 1800s. Original wood floors that creak under your feet with every step, gorgeous brickwork on the outside, and amazing staff. Every staff member went out of their way to assist us and make us feel welcome.

Loved the feel of the place though. Loved the Jacuzzi bath to get rid of my aches and pains. Shame no air con but 3 fans did make up a little for that. Lovely building though. The upkeep must cost a fortune. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c52465d9-3d0a-4cf2-b8fe-5fb0575c854d-1754675924336.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5e153fe2-6d05-4c36-ac18-e6d842012cc1-1754675927891.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/655d2eee-3fab-4ddf-ad16-4794c5601251-1754675927216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7adee597-2730-4beb-9475-2b251b855069-1754675926897.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jayne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lesley Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Helpful staff but v hot room.
