Great location and area, easy transport. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Parking is expensive and no charging points was a disappointment. Would return but the parking is a concern to take into consideration.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Room was very small with no wardrobes and room did not have proper windows which made it too much like a box.

The main bed is too small for two people. It’s max 140x200cm so tough for two adults. We booked it as double room and had just one blanket. Staff was calm and provided the additional blanket on demand. The bar is well sorter. The lobby offers a nice place to stay a few hours for drinks or business.

Great hotel for what we needed

Modt everything was great about the stay. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was good. Most staff were friendly and helpful. There were a couple who it seemed like to look busy and meant we had to wait to be served at the bar/front desk The only gripe we had was the drainage in the shower was incredibly slow so the tray filled up quite quickly and sould still have a bit of water in the bottom when the next person went in making it a tad slippery
