Pros:

Staff is cooperative and very friendly. Place is in the middle of the city and we need to pay for parking 10£ extra. Overall good.

Cons:

Only thing is they don’t provide water bottles in the room. You need to buy it from outside or you need to ask for a pint of water.

Very well appointed hotel and friendly staff
Pros:

Friendly staff. Very well appointed room, good size and everything I needed was there. I like that we could use the breakfast area to eat a snack and that both drinks and food was available in the evening.

Cons:

The area around was not great though that didn't matter once you've got into the hotel.

Bene non benissimo.
Pros:

Colazione buona e abbondante. Parcheggio nelle vicinanze e pagabile nella struttura alberghiera. Ottima la sala in cui poter consumare un pasto fugace la sera.

Cons:

La persona alla reception al momento del checkin non ha mostrato nè gentilezza, nè molta volontà di fare il suo lavoro. Nonostante le prenotazioni mostrate su foglio e su smartphone, non capiva che eravamo un gruppo di 6 persone, suddiviso in 2 camere. Zona non molto raccomandabile nella sera.

Overall good VFM. Clearly going through refurbishment. V close to town centre.
Pros:

Breakfast had a good choice of cereals, a good basic choice for a "full English" (eggs limited to scrambled eggs). Toast (white or brown) with basic marmalade or other spreads available from a dispenser.
The room was ok. A good shower with a good hot water supply and lots of pressure. Wifi (free) was excellent.

Cons:

The aircon in the room was noisy. Impossible to open window even a crack so aircon is necessary.
The one lift was hard to call to the lower and upper ground floors involving a more waiting than usual.
The fire alarm went off in the evening and I made my way down the stairs with another young man. At the ground floor the only option to go out was the fire door which seemed reasonable. The receptionist came out and asked us if we'd opened that door and told us off for setting off the alarms again 😊 - we explained that it was the emergency exit and we had no way of knowing how urgent it was to evacuate! (She didn't seem to understand!) - A little amusing episode to finish the day.
