Pros:

Comfortable and clean

Cons:

My booking said ‘breakfast included’. That’s it. In reality only a very, very modest continental breakfast was included, and they were charging £14 for the cooked one. Does the 4* hotel really need to resort to such dirty tricks? So in terms of transparency: Disappointing, really. It was ok otherwise.

Location and staff are great. More transparency on the ‘breakfast included’ only bein a continental breakfast would be g
Pros:

Location, staff and view from the bar where great

Cons:

Bed was quite small.
Also, states on Booking.com ‘breakfast included’ in the rate we paid for. However found out at the hotel it’s only for a continental breakfast. Anything else is charged. Although the continental breakfast was nice and not just a basic standard. I felt it wasn’t transparent. Which isn’t how a lot of other 4/5* hotels operate. This was disappointing. I would have booked for non breakfast and gone elsewhere in the morning I had known as we still had a cooked breakfast, which in reality greatly increased the cost of the breakfast overall.

Passable not worth writing home about!
Pros:

The hotel is central and fine if you get it for cheap. Comparable to a premier inn / travelodge

Cons:

The doors were really thin woke up at 2am to someone having a phone conversation in the hallway
