8/10 Good
"Space is tight to access the parking to the rear of the property but it’s a pro that parking is free. Location is great, approx 20 min walk to city centre. Staff were very helpful. Hotel itself is basic but value for money Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. Would stay again."
