We had a nice stay, Nick the receptionist guy was super super friendly! He made our stay. The surroundings is close to the main city, and was walking distance. The room we had was big enough, and clean.

Nice hotel. Good staff and service. Nice little buffet breakfast as well.
I booked a double room, very spacious, but the bed was small compared to the rest of the room. The room had an inside balcony, which is a very nice touch.
Sainsbury's was 4 mins walk away and a bus stop was nearby too. Convenient.
I enjoyed my stay.

Great place and suited all our needs. Transport was ok, but we walked to it quite easily from the free bus #1 when needed. Our room was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable. The room was very warm and had to use a fan we found in the cupboard. The coffee machine in the foyer was really good.
Overall we would easily come here again.
