Great room, fantastic restaurant

Really large triple/family room, could have got another bed or two in and still had space to wonder about. Comfy bed, good bathroom, breakfast didn't start til 7.30 so had to miss that as I had an early start, however, they also have a restaurant next door, had a very tasty curry. Will be back, not very much onsite parking but plenty of free street parking out front that is free 7pm til 8 am. Will be back if i'm in the area, hopefully not such an early start so I can try the breakfast, hope it's as good as the curry.

Everything was perfectly ok for a reasonable and good value overnight stay - the room was clean and had everything needed but the mattress was very uncomfortable indeed, needs replacing. Sadly I had a poor night's sleep due to mattress being long past its use by date. A shame because everything else was ok.

Was supposed to be a soundproof room but you could hear everything outside of the room including the constant noise of traffic and people talking in the street and outside the room and the shower had only one temperature which was extremely hot and the temperature would not adjust. Other than that the room was clean and the bed was comfortable

The rooms are very spacious and reception and dining area is very nice. We were however made to wait outside for a while before we could get in. In fact another resident eventually opened the door. And there was no apology nor explanation when staff came. The carpets are dirty and the room smelled musty . We slept with the window own to minimise the smell. The breakfast service was good though

Friendly staff ..compact but comfortable room. Apparent lots of work.been done ... some details still to go, my blind not working properly. Internet access didnt work. Breakfast like a farce..clearly not had 6 cooked breakfast orders before. Not enough cups; tea, and coffee and water not readily available. Milk for cereal seemed to be a problem. Despite this the staff were friendly they just hadnt planned how to serve.

Quite a night

Very reasonably priced. Very central - near the train station. Staff couldnt do enough for us. The adjoining restaurant was lovely. Very posh and food good- especially as we were in a hurry. Shower/ loo very clean and swish. Single room warm and you could open the windo. THANK GOD! I hate the major chains who rely on aircon only as it never works all might long and it's noisy and you feel so stuffy in the morning. Brakfast was fine. I had no complaints and the staff did their upmost to accommodate my....awkward friends. Veil drawn on them, I'm afraid!

Do not stay

I registered my car on their ipad at reception, but have still received a fine for staying in the car park. Tried to contact the hotel, but have been completely ignored....

With a few improvements, this hotel could be a reasonable place to stay, but several issues need attention. The carpet throughout the building requires a thorough clean, and the hallway walls could benefit from a quick repaint as they were very dirty. Reception and the corridors were unheated, making the atmosphere feel unwelcoming and extremely cold. When we arrived in December, our room window had been left open so the room was freezing. It would’ve felt so much better walking into a warm room. There was nowhere to hang coats, no hooks and not even hangers on the clothes rail. The electric heater had a loose metal panel, which felt unsafe. The TV was very small and unwatchable due to the poor signal. The rear access spiral staircase would difficult to navigate and unsuitable for anyone with limited mobility. The area outside the reception door looked untidy, with items like an old paint can and a piece of AstroTurf left lying around. Breakfast was essentially non existent, and no information was provided about it. Would we stay again, definitely not unless the above was attended to.

Terrible, insects and lack of regard.

The room look like clean, but I can feel some insects on my body when I was sleep and I can see very small insects on my belongings. Window was very strange, It will hit the body when opened. It will hurt when careless. No staff stay in reception, customer needs to ring someone to open the entrance door. Customer need to climb stair from car park to lobby, don't carry anything, it very inconvenient.

Everything about the hotel was brilliant. The guys down at reception were really helpful and welcoming, if we were staying in the area again I would definitely use them in future!

Empty reception area

The check-in and out time was too long. There’s no one fixed in the reception so you just have to keep waiting and waiting. You may have a tired day already and come up with this kind of no mans land is absolute terrible.

See you next time! 👍

I was visiting family, so just required a base. The hotel was ideal and I spent 3 nights/4 days in the area. I would definitely stay at the hotel again, as I regularly visit my family.
