Staff were excellent, very helpful, and hotel was in walking distance of Guildhall, City Centre, and good public transport. On the downside, Hotel room was the smallest I have ever stayed in, twin beds were a double unzipped, with no room to walk normally between the beds and the wall. Bathroom was so tiny, you couldn’t swing a hamster, let alone a cat! Definitely unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues (even temporary ones).

The only issue we had was the size of bathroom, it was pretty tight to move around. Everything else was just what we needed for a lovely night away

A lovely place to stay when attending conferences.

It was my first time at an Ibis hotel, and I enjoyed it. I liked our mini-kettle, the TV set and the delicious breakfast. It is perfectly located, neat the Uni sites.
