Pros:

It was clean and quiet, staff were pleasant and welcoming. I would recommend it.

Cons:

The door let a lot of light in from the corridor which meant the room was not dark.
Breakfast starts at 8am which is probably not good for business travelers - far too late for me

Would definitely stay again but after all the road works are complete.
Pros:

Lovely little hotel in easy walking distance of bus station and city centre shops. Very welcoming staff and my room was lovely and comfortable. Spotlessly clean and complementary tea, coffee and biscuits. Fabulous cooked breakfast and staff were so attentive and friendly and polite.

Cons:

Not entirely the fault of the property but my room was at the front of the hotel and there was quite a lot of street noise. There was major construction work taking place on the roads and pavements and I could hear rumbling noise all night (may have been a generator), I did have the window slightly open so that probably didn’t help. Only other thing I would add is that my shower wasn’t great, quite low water pressure but I have had worse. Not a huge problem.
