Love this hotel and the location! The price is amazing, the breakfast is standard full english, cereals, bread and fruit. My only negatives are that the parking is £10 a night which i think is extremely steep, no AC in the rooms (but we did have a fan) and the wifi is non existent!!!! I connected so many times and still had no signal at all in our room.
If you’re just looking for somewhere to sleep thats close to a lot of places then it is amazing and i would stay there again.

The property, room and breakfast was perfect. The only issue really is that there is no AC so during the heatwave it was pretty tough to sleep. However, they did offer lighter sheets and a desk fan to help ease the heat.
Highly recommend this holiday though!

I booked this hotel on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. The city centre was within 10 mins walking distance and even the hop on tour bus stopped outside the hotel. We had an enjoyable day on the bus including a river cruise. The hotel room, staff and breakfast were lovely. We had an enjoyable stay and would not hesitate booking again.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Plenty to eat at breakfast time.
No Air-con so the room was a bit warm as the fan provided was only blowing room air. However, no air con is reflected in the reasonable price.
