What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Rooms : Awesome . Comfy bed . Coffee and tea provided. Wifi though-out the hotel free. . Only the heating was thought AC . Which takes time to warm the room. TV channels could be more better . Its standard Freeview which is too slow to change channels. A Smart tv options with modern app like youtube and netflix app could be great option. Service : Great Customer services. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Location: Very close to city centre, only 7-8 mins driving . Hotel has its own parking spaces for around £7-8 for 24 hours . Hotel breakfast was on buffet. Its was very nice .”
