Excellent Central Stay

central locationspacious roomcomfortable bedhigh fee
The hotel's location was very convenient, near the train station and the city center. The room was spacious. The bed was comfortable and bigger than a standard double. I found the provided hot drink selection lovely. I especially appreciated the clean bathroomwith all essential amenities.
The parking fee of £16 per night felt steep. I was a little shocked by that cost.

great proximitycanal areacomfy roomfaulty keyunavailable channelssmall sink
The hotel was super close to the o2 academy! it was so convenient. i also found it really easy to walk to the station and the canal area. That canal walk to the arena was amazing!!! the room was really clean and comfy, and i loved that the front desk and bar were open all the time.
when i arrived, my key card didn't work. i had to wait a bit at the front desk, because the staff were busy serving drinks. also, when i got to my room, it was really cold at first, then it got too hot later. the tv had some channels that didn't work and the sink was smaller than expected.
