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.

Very good fit out and restoration. I stayed in the family room which had a double and single bed and internal bathroom for 2 nights. It was excellent - very comfortable - great Smart TV that was easy to use. Would love if it had a coffee machine :-)

I had a great stay there for two nights. The room was clean. The showers and toilet facilities were excellent. I had two
Pros:

Well, it was a good price and a good location. The beer was cold and the food was excellent at a fair price. I’m a senior and I got the seniors discount both nights.

Cons:

Well, probably the only thing would be it would be handy if it had a blind from the streetlights
