Abi

Excellent location and smooth check in with helpful staff. Unfortunately my room was next to a pub and was v noisy however the staff found another quieter room quickly for me. Issues with the TV remote controls in both rooms and the air con didn’t work and the room was v warm. Breakfast was an additional charge of £20 which didn’t include a cooked breakfast so not really worth the money. Overall hotel is in an excellent location but needs some attention to detail to justify the cost.

Only good thing about this hotel is it's location, being right in the city centre. The room was very small; there was no air conditioning or cooling (just a freestanding electric fan); the shower room flooring tiles were broken in several places;
