Fantastic location! Walked with bags from the station, immediate access to great streets with shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants. Team courteous n helpful. Room & bathroom clean just not absolutely spotless. Was in room 5 and it was small with not much of a view but entirely comfortably for one person. Breakfast was hot and cook/server couldn’t have been kinder. And my bags were carried up and down which was really appreciated. Would stay again

JANE

Disliked: Staff & service

Not a great choice

Booked a room with a bath but didn’t get that I got a room with a small bathroom, the shower was tiny with mould in parts. The room was okay but very dated and needs a complete renovation as does the whole hotel. It was quite expensive and the reviews I had read were good so I was really disappointed. We didn’t stay for breakfast as we just wanted to leave.

Disliked: Room comfort

Poor

Upon checking in, the room registered 32c degrees on my phone with no air con or fan. Security wise, the bathroom window was held open by a chock of wood, ground floor. Pretty unacceptable heat wise and security wise. I was not able to use the room and booked into another hotel nearby.
