Easy access to the transport services. Bus stop outside the hotel, takes you to the main terminal from there you can plan your days out using local transport. Quiet due to university campus shut for summer but would imagine busy during term periods. Easy to walk into town, The Terrace Cafe was a great find.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The only fault was that the lift was only working intermittently and my husband and I did get stuck in it. Which as I am claustraphobic it was a little bit uncomfortable for me.

Convenient location. Good Breakfast options. Breakfast staff friendly and approachable. The room was small though, it was too hot and no proper ventilation to cool the room - keep that in mind if travelling in summer. We found needles behind the bed side table before checking out so make sure to do a good sweep of the room on arrival. Lift worked fine - 1 working out of 2 so prepare extra time to wait for it to be available. Overall - friendly staff, clean open area downstairs to relax but small rooms and very very warm. Did what it needed to do.
