The room, while clean, was a shoebox with the smallest bed I've been in for years! Bathroom also clean but shower was uncomfortably small, floor slippery! One of the receptionists was an unpleasant young woman who reserved her smiles for management and had a completely inappropriate attitude for someone working in customer service!

Excellent position in the city. Bars, cafes etc all very close. Clean rooms, efficient and helpful staff. Not the best value for money at over £200 a night, the room was small and the shower cramped.

AWFUL SMELL, BED BUGS, TERRIBLE STAFF, AVOID!!!!!!

Terrible dead animal / sewage smell in the room, when complained told to open the windows without apology. Asked to move rooms and was refused - despite there clearly being rooms available they said there were none. Incredibly uncomfortable bed with a paper thin blanket instead of a duvet. In the morning I found the bed has lots of small black bed bugs in. This hotel is possible one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in, and how it gets its rating it’s beyond me. Avoid this place if you value your health and hygiene.

The hotel is at a great location. The rooms are clean but you can hear a lot of noises from upstairs and outside. The breakfast was ok but not many choices. Parking onsite was great after you found it 😂

My stay was fine, the staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a nice balcony area, with tables and chairs, overlooking the city. My room was a single and adequate but unfortunately, the shower was slippery underfoot and with no handrails. Dangerous especially for elderly guests like me.
