Lovely staff and clean and comfortable stay
Pros:

Quiet rooms, clean and comfortable and close to the railway station so only a 5-10 min walk

I had an evening meal and the staff were great with my dietary needs. The Thai green curry was delicious.

Breakfast was simple but tasty, lovely scrambled eggs and I appreciated being able to get some gluten free cereal

Cons:

Entrance area could be improved, it sits on what felt like a strange side road.

Perhaps a little more info on the small menu and some extra options but the food I had was lovely. Interestingly the address isn’t recognised by some food delivery apps so I either had the food in the bar or had to go back out into Wakefield for some food

Big rooms but needs updating.
Pros:

All staff were friendly and helpful. Room large and easy access. Breakfast had a good selection available. Breakfast room clean and staff attentive without being overbearing.
Situation of hotel very near to city centre and amenities.

Cons:

Although the room was large, it needed a lot of updating. Internal doors chipped and in poor condition. Room was for a disabled person, pull wire beside bed annoying. Wet room poor, after a shower the whole of the floor was wet as drainage poor, so unable to use bathroom without shoes on throughout the day. Bathroom sink didn’t run away.

Price reasonable, with the exception of parking £8 a day . Could use off road parking after 6pm -8am
Pros:

Breakfast ample of choice,

Cons:

Latte/cappuccino machine a bit too bitter for us.
We were in room 408 , noise coming from the entrance of the building opposite exchange House at 6 am Sunday morning with 2 drunk residents. Also Friday and Saturday night noisy due to the night clubs/ bars.

Also don’t like the top opening window design does not let any air flow into the room.

Cons:

Būtų geriau jai automobilio stovėjimas būtų nemokamas, arba bent būtų galima tiesiog susimokėti registratūroje. Nes dabar reik internete registruotis į atskirą bendrą parkavimosi programėlę.
