Excellent City Centre Stay

friendly staff good standard public transport great value

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a good standard. I found the location perfect for using public transport to explore the area and the city centre was easily accessible by foot. The value for money was particularly good.

The window in my room didn't seal shut completely, so I could hear some road noise.

Solid Hotel Near Bradford Interchange

easy check-in train station good breakfast

Check-in was easy and quick. The location is close to the train station (Bradford Interchange). I appreciated the good breakfast and pizza restaurant downstairs. The room was spacious.

There was significant noise from traffic outside as the window seal was broken and hanging off. This would improve the experience a lot.
