We have stayed here several times, but this time we were very disappointed with the room, which was on the corner of the hotel and very small. The breakfast buffet was the same, but not replenished very quickly and it was cold. They seemed to lack staff at breakfast. The reception staff are always friendly.

Fantastic. Quick and easy check in, got in the room early. Room was clean and tidy, brilliant shower, so quiet in the room despite being in city centre and by railway station. Best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel for a long while. Couldn’t fault it.
