    No extraction fan in bathroom. Opened the window after shower but couldn't close it, which opened onto fire exit. Major security issue. Bed was not very comfortable. Could hear voices from adjacent room.

    Location, complimentary bits, bar, breakfast

    The breakfast could have been better. Would have liked some fresh fruit and hotter water to make your own tea and coffee.

    Fantastic location near plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Friendly welcoming staff. Comfortable room which was very clean

    The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I'd like to give a particular mention to Millie on reception who undoubtedly went the extra mile, switching us to a room inside the hotel rather than in the annexe and providing us with ice buckets, cutlery etc when we arrived late and weary and needing sustenance. I would further add that it was an extremely well-appointed and pleasant room

    The shower was not brilliant as the shower head needed attention due to the connection was wearing out, It has been reported also there was no instructions for the coffee machine which would have been useful and some of the coffee pods had been used but was not a major issue for us as we were only there for 2 nights .

    Nice hotel with friendly staff in a good location with parking included

    The breakfast was nice if you like to eat just English breakfast and every day the same. I missed some fresh fruit or some pastry different than just a toast. Since we stayed more nights in a row it would be nice if the breakfast wasn´t 100% the same every day. But overall it was totally ok :)

    The hotel is at a good location - very short walking distance to the city centre, to shops, restaurants and to a park. The staff was very friendly and we also used the offered luggage storage and parking (quite a lot of space for parking and we didn´t have to pay extra for parking which was great). Our room was not special but nice and clean - good value for the price.
