The location is good it's about a 15 min slow walk into the city centre. The hotel is opposite the train station so it can be noisey. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The bar at night lacked ambience. The lights were to bright and with a wide screen TV it felt more like a sports bar than a relaxing place for a drink. Breakfast in the kings grill was not great the pastries coffee and juice were poor quality and the seating was stained and tatty . The bedroom was clean.

Always like this hotel - and the staff have always been helpful. When i requested a quiet room they moved me to a room overlooking the garden area . All good, clean and comfy, complimentary water etc. They seem to have removed real ales from the bar which is a shame - although fantastic bar opposite in the station so not a biggy!

Great location, very central and easy to get around. Helpful and friendly staff. Pretty basic rooms but decent for the price (although the showers could do with an upgrade - barely able to take a decent shower due to the wall positioning over the bath).
