10/10 Exceptional

Great location - great staff

The front of house staff were absolutely superb throughout the stay - they couldn't do enough for us!
Dean, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good layover hotel

Excellent check in and service, modern room, but the bed was overly firm and small. Breakfast, when included in the room, is great.
Troy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for money. Room was clean, no complaints
SHAUNA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent weekend stay

Easy on-line check-in, friendly greeting by reception staff, spacious and comfortable bed and ideal bathroom facilities. Excellent breakfast, and more friendly service from the breakfast room ‘host’; a far better experience than many ‘superior’ hotels we’ve stayed at. Hotel well-situated for shops, restaurant, bars and public transport.
Hot, tasty, freshly cooked breakfast

Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

Room was small but ok for the two of us, bed comfy, very quiet even tho it’s right next to a lot of pubs. Location excellent for train station and parking very close for only £7 for 24hours. Using the room card everytime you use the lift was very annoying.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant location and staff

So close for the station and city centre. Was buzzing outside with bars and clubs, but silent in the hotel. Clean and fresh, feels new. Staff really friendly!
Keith, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable, clean and great location

Easy access, very close to the station and 5 minute walk from the car park. Only issue was the car park was £24 for 24 hours parking which was more expensive than quoted on the website.

Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay

Hotel was clean, and fresh, with a presentable reception area. Rooms were adequate and comfortable though the bathroom was a little strange and basic. Unfortunately only one lift was in use throughout our stay which meant longer waits on an upper floor and the card system didn't always work but overall was in a good location and easy access to local restaurants and station. Shame about the down and outs loitering in the local area.

Excellent location for sight seeing, shopping and dinning out and acess to bus, rail and airport links. City can be explored easily on foot from the hotel. Hotel is reasonably priced and staff are very helpful
