Great location for the University, super-clean and comfortable room. Excellent value for money and very helpful staff. Only issue is parking as the on-street metered bays have a 3 hour limit (and they’re expensive). However, the staff suggested driving to Kirklee Road where it’s free and only about a 10 minute walk.

The room was clean and spacious. The hotel is well connected to the other parts of the city because it has subway stations nearby. The breakfast was very complete and a great deal for its price. There are many restaurants at a walking distance.

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is located close to some great bars & restaurants & within walking distance of the city centre attractions. The beautiful Botanic Gardens are next door. I loved the hot buffet breakfast, it set me up for the day. My bedroom had loads of space, high ceilings and a kettle with tea & coffee. All in all good value for money. There is no free parking outside the hotel but I found plenty within a 20 minute walk away. I will definitely return.
