Categories

Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviews call the hotel 'very clean', 'super clean', 'clean and new' and praise bathrooms and showers, supporting a strong cleanliness score.
Service
9.5
Service is consistently highlighted as a strength: staff described as friendly, welcoming, very helpful (several mentions by name), justifying a very high service rating.
Location
8
Location is praised for proximity to train station and easy walk to town, but several guests note road and rail noise which reduces the score slightly.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are described as sleek, modern, spacious and generally comfortable, but multiple comments about firm/too-hard mattresses, pillows and some cold rooms/thermostat limits temper the rating.
Amenities
7.5
Facilities are described as modern and excellent, but practical amenity issues noted (no towel racks/hooks, limited parking, poor in-room coffee) lower the score.
Value for Money
8
Guests mention reasonable room pricing and good quality breakfast/food, though extra charges (notably £10 parking) and some pricey menu items moderate perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast and evening meal are repeatedly described as excellent with good choice and quality; isolated complaints about coffee and one poor cooked breakfast are outweighed by positive remarks.
Overall Experience
9
Overall sentiment is very positive ('lovely stay', 'fantastic', 'pleasant surprise'), with excellent staff and food driving a strong overall experience despite some minor issues.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Great hotel for an overnight work stay.
Pros:

Decent size rooms, staff were nice enough and a good breakfast. Great hotel for a little work stay.

Cons:

A little noisy this time owing to the room being above the front door to the hotel and it being the default smoking area. This time I got a parking space but these are often full and one get directed across the river which is a real pain.
