Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Book this thinking of the VIP benefit was a free bottle of wine, wasn’t a bottle of wine. It was probably the cheapest bottle of champagne a real letdown, considering how most other hotels give you a reasonable free gift not just a cheap shot
Television reception was not the best, otherwise the stay was great. Maybe a suggestion the restaurant could serve breakfast

Beds were very very soft, curtains did not have pelmets so light streaming in above curtain rod all night. Bathroom ceiling stained and needs a panel replaced/painted. Was entitled to VIP extras but they were not provided…will probably choose a different accommodation provider when in the area next time
Very clear instructions for after hours entry. Immaculately clean room. Comfy bed with lovely pillows. Everything worked as it should. Easy parking. I especially loved the welcome note. Great team at the desk. Thank you to you all. Can’t fault a thing.

Average stay for the price, you could find better elsewhere.
We booked a "deluxe king room" for two nights. The bed was rock hard, they definitely need to look at getting some mattress toppers - we have stayed in many hotels around the world and this bed was beyond firm and caused us both aches and pains, leading to a horrible sleep!
There is mould in the shower sealant which could have been easily fixed but hasn't been.
The only access to water was the bathroom sink. The tap was so close to the basin it made it hard to fill bottles or the provided kettle.
Our deluxe view was a double decker bus parked outside our balcony all night and morning on both days.
Front counter staff were friendly and tried their best to accommodate our bed issue by providing some pillows at our request which was appreciated.
Staff very polite and friendly. Hassle free check in. Room very clean and quite big. Asked for a late check out and was accepted without any problem. Highly recommended
Restaurant was closed.
Good parking.
Close to small shopping centre.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Parking was good and easy
The bath was dirty same bathroom floor
Bed was uncomfortable, springy, bouncy and rolling
By the photo it looked like all rooms had a kitchen tap for water but you had to drink or fill the kettle with water from the bathroom ew.
