I stay regularly although the shower gel is such that it’s best to bring your own. It’s an odd smell often.

My first visit was for a conference and I liked the hotel ambience, so I was eager to see what sleeping in would be like. The room I got was on the 5th floor and it had a great view. The room was clean and cosy. The shower was warm and nice and I love the breakfast. The only downside was that I paid £17 for it online but it was £9.50 at the hotel and I probably could pay less if I booked in person 24 hrs before. Overall I had a good time there and it had access to good shops and restaurants around. I walked to and fro the train station which was a major convenience for me.

Great little find!
It was a last minute booking! Price was perfect and to be totally honest the only thing that was not great was how hot the room was as it was so hot outside! I would stay here again but in a bigger room!
