Guests often highlight the hotel's convenient location, with easy access to the canal, and a short walk to the city centre, shops and a museum. The modern, clean rooms feature comfortable beds, and some offer pleasant views, particularly from higher floors. Breakfast is generally appreciated, with tasty sausages and bacon.

Really good City Stay!

accessible bathroom ample breakfast convenient location complimentary parking

The staff provided car parking permits. I really appreciated this since it gave me complimentary parking because of my Blue Badge. The room's bathroom was especially accessible. The breakfast was ample, and it included numerous choices. It was wonderful that the location stood right opposite the Armouries Museum, a place I planned to visit.

The shelf with the coffee facilities made the room less accessible for wheelchair users.

The hotel's location is definitely accessible. It stands next to the river, near the city center, and beside a museum. This makes it ideal for sightseeing. Nearby parking provides convenient access.

small room uncleaned tables

the room size really bothered me, especially since they call it a "Standard Double Room". it felt cramped. also, the breakfast area seemed understaffed, tables were left uncleaned for too long. it was difficult finding a clean spot to sit, that stressed me out.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Shortcomings

faulty air conditioning external fan

The room was clean, and the location was convenient for accessing different parts of the city.

The air conditioning did not seem to work properly. It was permanently set to 22 degrees. I had to open the window, but the noise from the external A/C fans was loud enough to keep me awake. This oversight (along with other small ones) affected the overall experience.
