Comfortable stay

Lovely, clean room. It is on the small side but enough for solo traveller. Nice hotel. Spacious lobby. Good signposting to rooms. Free coffee on arrival. Only issue - no hot water. Rang to sort it out but went to voicemail so had cold shower.

A nice property which was clean with ample space for storage. A nice room though quite hot without Aircon, though there was a fan. The reception area was spacious with lots of amenities and friendly staff.

Comfortable rooms, but they’ve taken away the kettles so you have to walk down the hallway for a cup of tea from a machine. It’s a nice machine put sometimes you don’t want to leave your room and stand in the queue for a cup of tea

Clean quiet rooms but they’ve taken tea and coffee making facilities out of the room so you have to walk down the corridor and use a machine. Not impressed with that. Otherwise food is good and free use of the excellent gym is always nice
