    Is what it says it is, a budget hotel, simple, clean and effective. Great location, 10 min walk to the city centre. Room was exactly what I needed - clean, light and everything I needed was there. There are drinks and snacks available pretty much all day. Staff on desk were helpful and friendly.

    You know what you are going to get with a budget hotel - the room would be fairly basic, but it would have everything you need as a base for the night. That was exactly what we got - a functional room, very reminiscent of a cabin on a cruise ship, albeit an economy one. The bed though was surprisingly comfortable, unlike other budget hotels, so that was a clear plus.

    Friendly staff, amazing breakfast, free parking and walkable to city centre. We stayed here for a theatre trip. My friend and I had a twin room. The bathroom was huge and immaculate and the addition of 2 extra toilets on the landing was great! I've stayed on many 5 star hotels and never felt inclined to leave a review but these place is worthy of my time. It's a 3 star budget hotel but its a lovely one!

    Didn’t actually stay at the budget hotel. Hotel staff kindly moved us to their 3 star hotel as the lift wasn’t working that day and were meant to be on 3rd floor. Really relieved to move as budget hotel full of very noisy, raucous people (at 8.30pm) so who knows how they’d be late at night.

    This rating is based on the fact that this is a budget hotel and for under £50 for the night provided excellent value with a clean and comfortable room with a clean and comfortable bed. It is close to the city centre and has what you would expect from a budget hotel. The staff were friendly and I actually got a better night's sleep here then I have in a far more expensive hotel.
