The hotel and staff were lovely. The bar needs work there is not really a welcoming sign or and music that has to be kept low you could hardly hear it. Was overall ok but after being told that there were council renting for temporary accommodation and homeless tennants I don't think we'll be back. Shame nice hotel.

The staff were so friendly & hospitable & went out of their way to help & get whatever we needed. Cleaners literally just emptied the bin but left dirty cups on the side & didn’t replenish the coffee…also not enough milk available (it does say to ask at reception but didn’t realise there wasn’t enough until we went to make it in the morning) Bar area decor was ok….our room on the other hand was very dated BUT to be fair….we had a decent price for 2 nights considering you get 24hr reception & the staff were so helpful

Cheap, clean and great location
The hotel was clean and at a great location. The staff were very friendly on initial phone contact and in person. The room was a little cold qhen we arrived and the bathroom could have benefitted from a heater or radiator but for the price you cant complain too much
