Much nicer than a lot of hotels we’ve stayed in!

We enjoyed our stay, which was just for one night (somewhere to crash after a concert). The parking arrangement at the multi-storey across the road was brilliant and reasonably priced. There’s a nice bar and restaurant on site and our room was clean and warm. Very comfy bed, too! I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was given that it’s on a busy road. We also found the staff very friendly and helpful.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and we were very delighted with the stay in the most part. The room was huge and felt like a mini flat with a sitting area and coffee area in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. 2 TVs and mini fridge were a nice add on, and the toiletries were a nice touch. Bed was comfy and blackout blinds made sleeping very easy. Unfortunately, the shower left a little to be desired as the shower head was initially cracked open at the seam and the nozzles were clogged with limescale making it useless. Fortunately however, I put the head back together and cleaned the nozzles myself so the shower was usable. The free breakfast is a great addition and the quality of cooked breakfast was amazing. The option of continental is a bit pointless when this only consists of cereal, yoghurt, toast and juice. Why is there no pastries or fruit, etc.? Coffee didnt taste great either. Otherwise, great hotel and great stay in general, we will be back!

Park Central hotel.

Very well priced for the room and breakfast. Breakfast was excellent with good choices and helpful and friendly staff. The room was very comfortable and great shower and facilities in the room such as teas, coffees and a bottle of water, which was a nice touch. Room was warm and fairly quiet - no noise from other guests.

Short kid free break!

Receptionist was a little short on help when arrived, parking information could be more detailed and included on web page as written on hotel notices. The hotel was nice and accomodating, although its a little rough around the edges due to its age.
