Pros:

Was a good location hotel was clean and rooms were nice

Cons:

There was overnight road works outside rhe hotel which they did mention before but there were really loud and you could hear them in the room. There was constant hammering and machinery running all night. If they have no rooms at the back and you want a quiet sleep I would check the road works have finished.

Nice little hotel
Pros:

Clean and comfortable rooms, good customer service. Nice breakfast.

Cons:

Only gripe was due to roadworks right outside the hotel both nights. This was stipulated in an email prior to the stay and there were earplugs left in the room, which did help.

Pros:

Nice clean and a good location.
The local council or whoever is responsible for doing their roadwork and road closed outside should look after the hotel better and give signs as stuff where you would go when the road are closed to how to find the hotel!
Not the Hotel’s fault it’s the government or the council’s fault! The terrible Uni party strikes again

Cons:

The staff for excellent. Luke in particular!

Lovely stay once again
Pros:

This us our 3rd time of stopping at this hotel, it has an excellent location ti the city centre, shops, railway station, University etc. The rooms are standard, ideal for somewhere to sleep, but are spotlessly clean, plenty of towels etc.

Cons:

If there was 1 thing we needed to nit pick it would be that the quilt could do with being bigger, it only just fit the bed.

Ok affärshotell som ligger lite utanför centrum.
Pros:

Välskött standardhotell i utkanten av centrum som det är förhållandevis enkelt att komma till med bil. Bra möjlighet till parkering. Rummet var bra och bekvämt med det man kan förvänta sig.

Cons:

Typiskt affärshotell som är ganska anonymt och omysigt. Några utrymmen utomhus mer än vägar och stora hus finns det egentligen inte. Parkering finns, men det kostar extra och man betalar den i en automat i receptionen. Frukosten kan ju vara både positiv och negativ beroende på vilka preferenser man har: Engelsk standardfrukost med flottiga korvar, bacon och ägg. Vitt eller brunt rostat bröd med smör/marmelad och naturligtvis croissanter. Plus för Yoghurten och de färska bär man kunde ha i den.
