Great for a budget hotel
Detail is in the title really. It’s convenient, city centre location with ample free parking. Walking distance to city centre, uni campus and the train station. If you’re looking for cheerful, wallet friendly accommodation this is ideal. No frills but shouldn’t be expected at the price point. I stayed with my two nearly adult daughters in a room for three. Tight fit but we’re close :)

Room and breakfast was underwhelming. Nothing particularly bad and was okay for the price, but just a bit meh. Room was in a separate building to the rest of the site and didn't feel completely safe. Bathroom was very small and felt like it was in a converted cupboard rather than a typical hotel room ensuite.

Not the Best Experience. The windows definitely need better draughtproofing, as you could feel the wind coming through. Thankfully, the radiators were effective enough to keep the room warm. The kitchen in our apartment was lacking some basics, like extra glasses or anything for washing up. While the stay was manageable, these issues make it unlikely that I would choose to stay here again.

Horrible stay
The room was cold and the central heating is on a time that the hotel owner can change. The windows were single glazed, droughty and ill fitting ie rattling in wind. House cleaning every 5 days or on request!! The so called hotel is actually two building away from the main hotel.

A fine budget hotel but lacks energy.
This is a budget hotel and is a good example of that. The small room was fine for the price. The double bed was very comfortable and we got a good nights sleep. The breakfast was really good. So for the price you pay it is what is expected. Unfortunately, there is one downside, the staff need to be more welcoming. Over the two nights we stayed not once did anyone show any enthusiasm or welcome us with a good morning and a smile. When we arrived back after a day out, no one smiled and asked if we had a good day. On check out we weren’t asked if we had enjoyed our stay. When we arrived for breakfast the first morning, I thought the man serving us was a maintenance worker. No uniform, he wore jeans, trainers and a fleece. When you arrive for breakfast you were not taken to a table, you were not explained how breakfast worked and again no enthusiasm. It is a shame as these are basic things that could be so easily rectified.

Small room. Cosy some would say. Own private bathroom, tv. Microwave, fridge. Everything you need. (All in one small space though) Very quiet always a plus. Didn't eat here, I was away before breakfast 7am. Smallest gym in the world, no weights. Only one machine to work out on. Glad no-one else was in the gym as I only booked for the gym.
