10/10 Exceptional

Great location - great staff

The front of house staff were absolutely superb throughout the stay - they couldn't do enough for us!
Dean, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good layover hotel

Excellent check in and service, modern room, but the bed was overly firm and small. Breakfast, when included in the room, is great.
Troy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value

Fantastic value for money. Basic but very comfortable and the room is impressively well insulated against noise from the other rooms and street below

Average stay

Wasn’t the cleanest hotel. Room was very basic and dirty, but somewhere to stay
Jamie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent weekend stay

Easy on-line check-in, friendly greeting by reception staff, spacious and comfortable bed and ideal bathroom facilities. Excellent breakfast, and more friendly service from the breakfast room ‘host’; a far better experience than many ‘superior’ hotels we’ve stayed at. Hotel well-situated for shops, restaurant, bars and public transport.
Hot, tasty, freshly cooked breakfast
Mark, 2-night trip

Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

Room was small but ok for the two of us, bed comfy, very quiet even tho it’s right next to a lot of pubs. Location excellent for train station and parking very close for only £7 for 24hours. Using the room card everytime you use the lift was very annoying.
Richard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

a simple, OK hotel for the price.

small room (but nice for shorter trips), VERY friendly and helpfull staff, the breakfast buffet was quite nice: there was a bit of everything :-) Cleaning... well... while I was trying to look for something I thought I lost in the room I found (i) a (thankfully) unused condom between the mattresses and (ii) a pill on the floor below the bed. The part underneath the faucet handle was also a bit sticky when I first "moved in".
Sergio, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant location and staff

So close for the station and city centre. Was buzzing outside with bars and clubs, but silent in the hotel. Clean and fresh, feels new. Staff really friendly!
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

nice hotel
Travis, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable, clean and great location

Easy access, very close to the station and 5 minute walk from the car park. Only issue was the car park was £24 for 24 hours parking which was more expensive than quoted on the website.
Robin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quick and easy to check in. Room was clean and perfect for one night. Super close to the shops, restaurants and bars.

Not a great experience.

Toilet smelled and the pod moved around like being onba ship. Couldn't get the aircon to work. Don't stay if you have a car. Nowhere to park encomically.
