Tony, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is ideally located near the train station, so if you have an early flight or an early train, you are right there. There are dining options in the hotel. The staff at check-in was not friendly, borderline rude and ruined the stay for me.

Sabrina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dated hotel - better options available

Good location close to station and busy shopping street. Hotelnisbtired and in need of renovation. Closer to a 3* than a 4*. Gym is annoyingly off site and only available from 8am-10am on a Wednesday!. Rooms are dated - no USB / Cable slots. Location is good but that’s where it ends I’m afraid. Won’t be staying again.
