I had a comfortable stay. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were very friendly and supportive. It happened to be a particularly warm day, and while a table fan was provided, it wasn’t very effective in the heat — a tower fan would have been more useful. That said, for a one-night stay it was still a pleasant experience overall.

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.
