Staff were very welcoming & helpful at check-in and throughout our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable. The overall atmosphere of the place was great, as were the amenities. Breakfast was nice, plenty of choice, I appreciated there being vegetarian options. We would recommend this place.

Liked: Staff & service
Small rooms and bed was comfy, the carpets could do with a deep clean or even removing completely; given that it is a pet-friendly hotel, I’d suggest the latter. Besides that, the hotel is comfortable and well located. Cheap and cheerful and dog-friendly.

For the price the hotel was amazing! Our room was lovely and clean and had everything we needed! It was a short walk from the city centre too so an excellent location! Unfortunately we had a fire evacuation at 2:30am which was the only thing that made our trip less enjoyable but apart from that we had a lovely stay!

It was a quiet and comfortable bed for the night after a long day and travel. Very basic and clean (if you discount the pair of trousers left between the beds by a former guest).
