What visitors say
★★★★★“Hotel is well situated. Clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent buffet breakfast. Really good sized clean double bed. Only criticism in our room was that the bed barely fitted in the space and there was only a really tight space maybe 15cm between the end of the bed and the wall. We managed but an elderly couple or someone with poorer mobility would struggle.”
★★★★★“Great location, right in the city centre, close to shops and public transport stops/links. I'm a light sleeper; the road noise affected me, so I asked if we could change rooms, and they moved us to another room. Very clean, great atmosphere. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Good selection at breakfast time; food could have been a bit warmer. Would recommend to friends and family.”
