Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was clean and a good size. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety. Ricky, Millie and Enya were friendly and efficient. The young lady at the front desk (didn’t get her name) was extremely helpful. The location of the hotel is walkable to city centre and there is a train station very close. Only cons were the shower curtain and the toilet was a little weird. Small issues and I would recommend this hotel as an excellent value.

We loved staying here. It was convenient walking distance to the city center and had good, free off-street parking. The staff was wonderful, the included breakfast offered lots of choices. The beds were comfy and the room was very quiet. I highly recommend this hotel.

Right in the center of lots of shops, pubs, restaurants. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The only drawback for our room is it was on a busy street so at times quite noisy. I would stay again.
