Burdekin Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Stephen
Awesome rooftop bar with good drinks. The staff was very friendly. Cool decorations. The pizza with nduja sausage from Calabria was so tasty. They do a Sunday brunch that looks like a lot of fun.
4 Star Review by Jessica Patterson
Lots of stairs! Took the wrong turn and ended up down the back passage oops! Cute little place and the staff tolerated me and my attitude so kudos to them. Not much on the menu, particularly for those not wanting cheese or pig but tasty vegan pizza. Roof top is nice but only in dry weather. Toilets are about midway in the myriad of stairs. There is an elevator for those wishing to cheat but takes an eternity. I think there's a bar on every level.
4 Star Review by Vani E K
Love this place, feels like home coming here. The bartender and security guys are really lovely and always so welcoming. I would love that the toilets were kept a bit mote clean a little as they are always really dirty at the end of the night, but not that stops me to have a great night here.

Great venue! 3 floors of fun! Loved that they had emo & metal on one floor & dance music on another. Fabulous atmosphere. I shall be back!!

Went to Egirl Nexus One on the 12.11.2022 was a great vibe and there are a couple of floors with other loud music and events going on and we couldn't hear their music at all- very sound dampening. Rooms could be bigger but I think that's up to the event that hired them to pick the room so that's not the Burdekin's fault. Staff were lovely.
