All Round Great Stay

Only a short walk from the train station. Reception staff friendly & welcoming. Rooms were quiet & very comfortable. Everything you may need for your stay. Extra pillows, safe, tea & coffee, iron & ironing board. Good quality soap, shampoo & shower gel. Large cubicle and power shower. Lovely bar downstairs with happy hour from 4pm til 7pm. We will definitely stay again.

Good place to stay

Location was great for train station and city centre. Staff friendly and helpful, great selection for breakfast. Downside was location of our room which was 530, it was next to the lifts which were noisy throughout both nights and very early in the morning. Affected our sleep. Would stay here again but would be mindful of room location.

Quite difficult to find, because of its location and alterations around the station. But very scenic near the river. Everything very good, but I would prefer free range eggs at breakfast. There was vegan cheese, yoghurt, and maybe also milk, but not free range eggs, which are important for vegetarians.
