Awful - avoid

We stayed during the hottest day of the year, the air conditioning was broken and our room was over 30 degrees in temperature. We asked for a fan in our room, we were brought a broken one. When asking for ice from reception they told us they couldn’t give us any. The staff were unhelpful, unsympathetic. We spoke to other guests of the hotel who left to stay somewhere else due to having such a poor experience. Would not recommend staying here.

We stayed before a hospital appointment and it was ideal. From check in to checkout the whole experience was good. We were a little late for breakfast but a lovely lady prepared us fresh scrambled eggs and sausages. She was very thoughtful. All staff were friendly and professional. Thank you so much

The breakfast was quite low key; scrambled egg was tasteless like plastic. The choices were quite limited. We had once a dinner there and it was quite poor quality. So, except the low quality of food/meals, it was ok.

One night stay

All good. We just needed somewhere to sleep for one night. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room was small but adequate, the breakfast was pleantiful and well cooked and well presented. I would use the hotel again but would wanta bigger room if staying for more than one night.

Good location, just a 5-7 min walk to the nearest bus stop. Area is quiet. Staff are friendly. The room was fairly cramped for a family when the sofa bed is out. It was also not comfortable to sleep on, could do with replacing the mattress. The bathroom has been nicely renovated but unfortunately the tap is too far from the sink and water goes everywhere.

Nice hotel, clean & comfortable. However, i booked a twin room with sofa bed for two adults. When we arrived the sofa bed wasn't made up so i spoke to the staff & we went about our day. When we returned, they'd opened the sofa bed & just draped a duvet over it with no sheets. Unimpressed with this but overall a good hotel.
