Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! The rooms were clean and functional, even though they were a bit noisy due to the nearby rave center. The service was top-notch with friendly staff always ready to help. The location was convenient, though the noise from the pub downstairs was a downside. The dining experience was overall good, with fresh cooked breakfast, but some dishes seemed microwaved. The facilities were nice, even though some areas need refurbishment soon.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location was convenient for a night out, and the staff were helpful and friendly. However, the room I stayed in was right above a noisy pub, making it hard to sleep. The full English breakfast was satisfying but basic. Overall, not worth the price paid.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable, but the lighting was quite dim, especially over the outside space used by guests and staff. The service was lovely, the staff were hospitable and welcoming, but housekeeping could use a bit more attention to detail. The location was convenient for those who enjoy the nightlife but could be noisy due to the nightclub and outside smoking area. The dining experience was superb with excellent breakfast options, but the noise from the street and single-glazed windows were a drawback.
