Value for money hotel. Perfect location close to city centre. Kind and friendly staff. Room was very small with a view of a brick wall but ok if you just wanted a room to sleep in. Clean but could do with a little more attention the detail in places.
Very comfortable bed and good shower with nice toiletries.
Room also had a fan, fridge, kettle which was useful.
Good breakfast selection, issue with hot food was quickly resolved when highlighted to staff.
Overall it was good value and I would stay again.

The first room smelled as if someone had smoked. I asked for a room change and I was immediately accommodate. The staff was professional.
The room where I stayed was clean. As you enter the property there was a smell of toilet, which not the best welcoming sign.

Staff were very courteous. The room was clean. The towels and linen were very good bed was a little bit hard.
Unfortunately, there was the most awful smell of drains in the reception area near the general toilets on the ground floor. I didn’t mention it to the staff with clearly there is a problem though.
