Reception staff are always charming & helpful. Room 305 - no hot water or heating & loud music until 2am. And I’ve never had a benefit in all my visits.

A superior room should have a larger bed. For the higher payment, we expect a king
Excellent location. Wheelchair user. Accessibility could have been better but overall the accessibilty was okay. I was unable to be located in an accessible room and therefore that impacted the space. Staff were very good and helped whenever it was needed.

Rooms dated, iron burn on carpet, very hot no aircon but too noisy with window open
Friendly helpful staff and nice breakfast
Old tired hotel. Nice reception but it stops there. Charge for gym and pool of 5 pound which is wrong for the size of it.
Charge to leave luggage prior to leaving...
Staff were great , hotel not so!
The rooms were extremely hot and the temperature could not be changed.
Our room was very noisy until late at night which prevented restful sleep.
One of our party left something in the room after check out. We went back to collect it and staff insisted they had looked and it was not there. We had to ask several times for them to check again. The item was in the room!
One reason we book was for the pool and it was closed. Also, you had to pay a fee to use the pool. Parking was convenient. The rooms needed new carpeting - very stained and needed a better cleaning. Staff were great.

Good value, clean and safe
This is a lovely hotel right at the station in the city centre. It felt very safe and i appreciated the chain on the bedroom door for extra peace of mind as a solo traveller.
The staff were friendly and professional.
My room on the 4 floor was super clean, if a little tired looking. I liked the cosiness of the sloping roof, and it was a good size. I liked that there were soft pillows (firm pillows also if thats your preference)
The breakfast was exactly as ibwould have expected and was good enough with a good choice. I would have preferred eggs cooked to order, but I did like the little mini danish pastries on offer.
The hotel is in the city centre, with the train station on one side and a number of bars on the other, so its not going to be completely quiet, but it wasnt too bad and I slept well.

Liked: Room comfort
The reason I have given one star is not the rooms or the stuff rooms are nice stuff are very friendly and helpful but the hotel is pricing itself out not for the cost of the room but now they charge extra to use the facilities and parking has jumped from 15 pound to 22 pound and night
