EMEL

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, it was a nice hotel. The property was generally clean and well maintained. However, we think the bathroom could use some renovation. The hotel is a bit far from the city centre, but the parking fee was quite reasonable, which was a plus. The breakfast was slightly below our expectations. Based on the reviews, the hotel was rated as “top rated” which naturally raised our expectations. We honestly couldn’t understand what justified that rating. We’ve had quite a lot of hotel experience across the UK, and I would say this was one of the more average breakfasts we’ve had. That said, all the staff were friendly, welcoming, and hardworking. I would especially like to mention Valerie and Emily😇 They were absolutely amazing and really made our stay more enjoyable. Thank you!

Staff were lovely. Room and en-suite were clean, good towels, queen bed. Breakfast was fine. This is a budget hotel and was of a good standard. But sadly not great to be woken by a loud voice and booming music at 6am from the spinning class at the private sports club gym club adjoining the building.
