Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a bit underwhelming. The room I had for £90 a night was tiny, advertised as a double, but I could barely fit in the toilet. The room looked out onto a flat roof, not the prettiest view. The hotel seems a bit dated, and not all rooms offer attractive views of the garden or park. On the plus side, the staff were diligent and provided good hosting services. The location was convenient, close to the city center and the train station, though a bit of a walk to some attractions. The dining experience was average, nothing special, although the service was excellent. Overall, not great value for money, maybe worth £50 a night at most.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms exceeded my expectations, being spotless and well presented, without any need for artificial air fresheners. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate me. The location was ideal for exploring the city, and the dining experience was delicious. Overall, a fantastic value for money.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that easily accommodate five people and are quiet, away from the bar/restaurant area. Some rooms have a less attractive view of a flat roof, but it didn't affect my stay as I mainly used the room for work and sleep. The service was mixed, with a friendly staff but some issues with breakfast service. The location is impressive, with beautiful gardens and easy access to the town on foot. The dining options were somewhat limited but sufficient. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay with good value for money.
Upon arrival, the family room was cold, and some maintenance issues were noticed. However, the friendly service and superb breakfast made the stay enjoyable. The location was convenient for accessing the center but not quiet due to the nearby rail line. The dining experience was top-notch with excellent quality food. The facilities were satisfactory.
