The hotel was in a good location. The room was fairly small and basic but looked exactly like the pictures and was good for one night. The breakfast was really good and the staff were all welcoming

Fabulous and affordable with great location

This property has a great location just off Queen Street with easy access from two sides. Modern and welcoming reception area with friendly staff. Breakfast was varied and well stocked and a 15% discount given if you have a meal at the Voco hotel next door. Rooms were big enough for a family but housekeeping was not great - we had two days where it had not been done by 1500 and needed to request extra towels daily. This was quickly rectified by the staff on both occasions. I would recommend as a very good budget friendly hotel with a central location. Overall a pleasant stay.

The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that at breakfast, the only meat options they have are pork and that usually makes me ill. Other hotels usually have options like turkey, chicken, beef, or plant based meat at breakfast.

This is a great place to stay for a few nights, good size room and bathroom etc. One thing they could change is add a mattress topper on the bed as it was pretty hard and uncomfortable.
