clean but staff need to be more attentive to facilities and guests
Cons:

The staff chat amongst themselves and don't great guests. Apart from on my last day the 31 in the mornjng the staff was good. They don't do regular check of facilities. The lounge had dirty glasses and they were out of take away cups from Friday lunch until i told them on Saturday monring. I had to ask them to clean my room three times before it was actioned and they don't restock the mini fridge each day- i stayed four days. They could def improve.

Convenient once I found it.
Pros:

Central location, comfortable bed.

Accessing the property, too confusing maps send you to dead end road. Building works surrounding hotel.

Pros:

Bed was very comfortable and the room was cozy. Staff were helpful when I needed to switch rooms because my TV didn’t work.

Cons:

There was construction going on next door that started quite early in the morning and made it hard to sleep in. This should have been made clear when booking.

Excellent, clean and friendly. Loved the modern and friendly nature of the hotel.
Pros:

Just a nice, modern, clean room which was great. What you see is what you get and I’m 100% thrilled about that.

Cons:

Location was about 10 minutes from the city so honestly should’ve just booked something there BUT didn’t love that there wasn’t anything within walking distance really on weekends like too many cafes or even a 7-11 for snacks
