A vey attractive location with very friendly professional staff. You have to eat there - the Indian food is the best I h
Pros:

It was warm, friendly;had a busy atmosphere. The staff couldn’t do enough to help you. There were a variety of seating and eating places. The food, particularly the Indian cuisine was outstanding.

Cons:

Only a slight criticism - the property is on a busy road and there was disturbance from early morning traffic - but that did spoil our stay.

Needs a spruce up
Pros:

The location was excellent. The bar area was buzzing, locals seem to love it. The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The room wasn’t made up in the morning. They changed the duvet cover because I spilt coffee on it and asked them to but that was it. The place is very tired looking. Needs new carpets and a coat of paint. It smells. Distinct smell of fags in one corridor and food smells in the other.
