Great location and comfortable clean room. Fantastic included breakfast with lots of choice and good quality. Only downside was that they didnt have a double room available and despite asking if we'd like a room on a higher floor, could only offer one on the third floor. Minor niggles in an otherwise very comfrtable stay.

Last time at this Hotel.

Annoying toilet cistern kept running and kept us up during the night. Told the guy on reception in the morning but he didn't seem bothered. Air Con in room not very good either. Breakfast was really good as always. Stayed a couple of times before but this will be the last.

The staff at this hotel are exceptional in particular Jarute. We received a warm welcome from her as soon as we stepped in. The room was beautifully clean and we found it to be pretty quiet. Breakfast in the morning was delicious - a variety of hot/cold options. Car park next door and walking distance to mailbox/ bullring. Thanks again Jarute!
