    The price was very fair for the room. Room was on the whole very clean however there was a stain on one of the duvet covers, I did not mention this as it was the clear the beds had been changed and the stain was old so I felt regardless the bedding was at least washed. The bathroom was spotless and the shampoos and body wash provided was more than expected for a budget hotel. The public areas of the hotel are spotless.

    The house was spotless. It had everything you needed for a home from home stay. Comfortable beds with plenty of extra blankets and pillows, etc. A lovely welcome basket was a nice surprise with a few essentials. Ample equipment in the kitchen and a dishwasher, which is fabulous. Location is great, not even a mile from the city centre, so a taxi was very cheap. The welcome book had so much information, e.g, taxi numbers . All in all, we had an amazing stay and will definitely book again !
