Chosen for the price I was very pleasantly surprised at the service from the helpfulness of the receptionist to the breakfast prep guys and the cleanliness of the room. Tricky to find but a jewel of a hotel.

Pleasantly surprised. Room extremely clean. Bathroom was immaculate. Nice fluffy white towels. Plenty of hot water. Beds are okay. Not firm but that didn’t really bother as only staying one night. Breakfast was satisfactory. The scrambled eggs very yummy. Fresh fruit. Plenty to choose from. Friendly staff. We would return without hesitation.

The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly and sorted us out on our arrival as we were there early for the football and helped us to get a Taxi to the ground. Our room was clean and tidy, a few marks about and furnishings were a little dusty and could have been done with replacing if I wanted to be picky but I was only there to sleep so it do t really matter. The breakfast was a buffet style breakfast which was spot on for me however the Hash browns were not the best but the rest of the food is good and kept warm which can be a pain on a buffet breakfast but not issues for me. The reason I have only done a 4 out of 5 is because of the cob webs that are on the pictures and ceiling in the dining area and we also found 2 dead spiders in the corridors, just a little bit more detail to cleaning in this area for me. But for the price we paid for a twin room with breakfast it's a tick for me.

The staff at this hotel made our stay amazing. The hotel had some issues with hot water and heating but they made up for it with their kindness so all well.

Room was dark gloomy and smelt of cigarette smoke. The beds were uncomfortable. There was a stain on one sheet. The shower water pressure was good and was very clean. The soap smelt nice. The breakfast was good plenty of variety. Would have been great if had alternative milk like oat.

The hotel was modern and very clean. The mattress was very saggy though on the double and the sofa bed had a weird tilt so head was lower than the feet! Not comfortable. I liked the choice of soft or hard pillows on offer though. Breakfast, while there was a good choice (pastries, cereal, fruit and cooked) the hash browns were not crispy the apples were old and brusied and the coffee was bad.
