Staff were friendly room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The hotel is very dated but as I said it’s clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet had loads to choose from both hot and cold and they do have gluten free bread available for those that need it. The food tasted great and the hot food was hot. The only downside was the external noise during the night with people coming and going from pubs and clubs. Take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Overal a pleasant stay with friendly helpful staff. Would recommend and would stay again.

We found the hotel, very clean and tidy, the staff were excellent, the food and service was excellent. The rooms were spacious, clean and well presented. I would say the only down side was we felt it needed a lick of paint to give it a freshen up. But that certainly would not put us off returning.

This is an older building which both adds to its charm but also results in limitations. Could not turn off the radiator, but on the positive side, could actually open the window. Large ground floor spaces and sa superb breakfast.
