I had a nice stay thanks to the amazing team and great breakfast! It was a bit of a shame about the dust and noise from the renovations, but I’d definitely give it another go once the upgrades are finished.

Very conveniently located but surrounded by construction which could not be helped. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful.

Hotel undergoing refurbishment and it needs it. Decor and carpets tatty. Beds shocking. Staff were friendly and it was clean. Breakfast plentiful. Checked out after first night and stayed elsewhere. Waved goodbye to £150 for the lost nights
