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!

Spacious comfortable room with nice clean bathroom. Liked the added fridge in room, but would have benefitted from more than 1 pillow each. Breakfast was included and was ok, but lacked selection, so if you prefer a full english, you'd be better going out for breakfast elsewhere. Overall decent stay, and for the value I would stay again.
