Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a great location slightly away from the noise but still close enough for cheap taxi rides. The rooms were generally good, but the second bed was springy and the skirting boards were very dusty. The staff was a mix of extremely helpful and welcoming with some exceptions like the security guard. The location was ideal for exploring the city, and they even offered car parking for day trips. The dining options varied from great choices to some breakfast disappointments. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were lovely and clean with a good amount of room to move around. The breakfast and bathroom facilities were nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The food was fresh and cooked just right, making my stay very pleasant.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and had plenty of hanging space for our needs, but it was a bit chilly initially. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, close to the city center and with parking spaces available. The dining experience was okay, but lacked variety. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel rooms were good, with a great walk-in shower and in a decent state of repair. They were clean and very comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was superb, offering great value for money. Although the car park is small, having a TGI Fridays just across the road was a bonus. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
The hotel offers large, spotlessly clean rooms at a slightly expensive rate without amenities like a restaurant and with a subpar breakfast. The service was exceptional with accommodating and friendly staff, even though there were delays in room readiness. The location is convenient for city activities, albeit slightly industrial. The dining options, while decent, lacked variety. Overall, great service and cleanliness make up for some downsides.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a good size and very clean, but there were strong odors present. The service, however, was excellent with very helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient for my needs, being within walking distance of the city center. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some disorganization, but overall, it was acceptable.
