The air conditioning did not work. It ran but never cooled. I slept on top of the sheets. The desk person said the air was turned on but just needed time to cool. The room was nice. Hotel is close to a oark

Car parking poor. The car park was full and the overflow arrangement with the local railway station is not user friendly. It took 30 mins to exit car park with hotel issued tickets which fail to raise exit barrier. Separately, wifi not accessible . Not acceptable in today’s age. Hotel layout weird and signage to some rooms disappears long before you’re close to room. I would not return to this hotel.

Great place to stay

Lovely hotel room although it is a premium room. Very spacious with toilet separate to shower room. It looks like it would wheelchair friendly. Lovely shower one downside is the small hand basin. Very difficult to use without splashing water everywhere. Great location right next to the station and if the walk into the old town seems too far, the tram takes you into the centre.

Good for a Family Weekend

Perfect stay for a family weekend. The hotel and rooms look new and the staff was friendly. The location was ideal for us as we had a car, hence appreciated the gated parking at a reasonable rate. This hotel is a healthy walk from the center, or an easy tram ride, which you need to do for the restaurants and sights. We also paid for breakfast which was excellent, especially the locally produced jams and jellies. Overall a good stay.

I'd come back

A great little hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. If you're arriving or leaving by train the proximity to the station is excellent. It's a bit of a walk down to the river and old town but if you can't be bothered walking the tram stop is right next door. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast buffet was very good with lots of variety.
