friendly staffnice breakfastpoor insulationtired room
the breakfast was very nice. the staff was friendly in a nice hotel. i would ask for a quieter room if i stayed again, since mine was above the outside seating and near the bar.
the rooms felt tired. the windows didn't offer good sound insulation. inconsiderate guests made it hard to sleep, and this wasn't addressed.

excellent locationhelpful stafffriendly staffpaint smelldisgusting kettleuncomfy bed
The location was excellent. The bus stops were very close. the shopping square was virtually next door, and there were numerous restaurants nearby. the staff were very helpful and friendly, which i found charming.
The room had a slight smell of paint as i walked in. the kettle was disgusting. It had limescale and burnt coffee granules inside. the bed was not very comfy, and it sagged in the middle.

Adequate Stay Overall
helpful staffcooked breakfastconvenient locationdated hotelback entrancetaxi need
The staff proved really helpful. The breakfast offered a good selection. It had a top notch cooked breakfast. The location is also quite convenient near pubs.
I found that the hotel is quite dated. The bathrooms in particular need some updating. The entrance to the hotel is at the back. This felt unusual. I think a taxi is needed to go to places around here.
