Unfortunately my room wasnt clean, there was evidence of the previous occupant, long hair in bath, sinks, on the bathroom floor even a eye pencil on the desk was missed. Made me wonder what else hadnt been done correctly. Stayed here many times without any problems, hope it was just a one-off.

Really good location, very clean

Very clean hotel, staff were very polite and always someone on hand if needed. Rooms are a good size and well equipped, sadly for me I found the beds very uncomfortable, the mattress is very firm, pillows uncomfortable and the duvet wasn’t big enough for the bed so everytime one of us moved the duvet uncovered the other. It was a shame as we couldn’t fault anything else, the location was fab and close to everything but without the noise of the town disturbing you but just didn’t sleep well due to the bed.

Great location, spacious and comfortable

The hotel is in a great location, easy walk into the city centre. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I loved the hydration stations on each floor to refill the water bottle. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
