Cleanliness
7
Many guests praised newly renovated and very clean shared bathrooms, but several reports of reduced room cleanliness, an unpleasant smell on one stay and a bed-bug report lower the overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
8.2
Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful at check-in and overall; however there are isolated reports of rude housekeeping staff and poor management/inaction during an evacuation alarm.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised — very close to the train station and convenient for events and travel, repeatedly cited as a major positive of the hotel.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are described as comfortable with clean showers; often small but adequate. Some guests note occasional smells or less-clean rooms compared with prior stays.
Amenities
7.5
Shared bathrooms are modern and high-quality and the on-site pub/bistro is appreciated, but late-night live music/nightclub noise, lift quirks and parking limitations detract from amenities.
Value for Money
8.8
Multiple guests call the hotel very good value for money, praising cleanliness of renovated areas and the price-quality balance.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Pub food and the bistro receive repeated positive mentions (nice food, fabulous meals), contributing strongly to this category.
Overall Experience
7.2
Overall sentiment is mixed-positive: strong location, good food and value, and modern bathrooms lift experience, but frequent weekend/night noise and occasional cleanliness or staff issues reduce the overall score.

Met expectations for overnight stay.
Pros:

Location ok. Parking a major problem. We arrived around 6.30pm. No parking at hotel and even worse in surrounding streets.

Cons:

Parking difficulties.

Loved the price and the facilities. Check in could be better and instructions on check out could be clearer.
Pros:

Very clean, great location, shared bathrooms were immaculate, clean, stylish and well stocked. Bedroom was perfunctory but had everything I required.

Cons:

The car park was full when I arrived so I had to park on the street then move my car later. Spaces should be reserved for guests that have noticed they have cars. Reception was a bit hard because I had to compete with other punters at the bar buying drinks just to check in.
