    The only bad thing about this stay was that the beds were hard. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They also had the best free... breakfast of our trip with great service. Nice English breakfast made to order with a smile. It rivaled the restaurants we payed for. by jason  from los osos, ca on 03/12/13

    Unfortunately the en suite had a water leak, which we reported on arrival. Despite bringing this to the hotels attention again, nothing was done except giving us extra towels to mop up the water and every time we used the en suite we got wet feet. Despite this, the staff were friendly and we got a decent breakfast. Very noisy with the tram roadworks […] at the moment. Good location for city centre, right next door to railway station. Read more

    1. Il est désagréable d'être réveillé par des odeurs de cuisine. 2. Il est agaçant d'être privé de télévision uniquement parce que personne ne s'est occupé de fournir la télécommande manquante. 3. Cela a été un peu compensé par l'accès WiFi gratuit fonctionnant relativement bien dans la chambre.

    Cheap hotel very close to Haymarket Station and the airport bus number 100. My room was clean. This hotel is a good option if you travel on a budget and need a hotel close to the airport bus and Haymarket station. Takes about 15 minutes to walk to Princess Street. If you need a fancy hotel, go somewhere else.
