Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests praised the hotel for its excellent central location, helpful and friendly staff, and satisfying breakfast. However, many found the rooms to be very small, and several noted the lack of an elevator as a significant inconvenience, especially for those with mobility issues or heavy luggage. Cleanliness and comfort were generally appreciated, but some guests felt the value for price could be improved and mentioned issues with room amenities. Overall, the positive aspects of location, service, and breakfast stood out.

Pros (+) Room was clean and well presented, service was excellent all easy and not a problem, perfect location short walk from everything you need including a 24 hour car park
Cons (-) Small things like the shower base wasn’t grippy and I nearly slipped and hurt myself, plus the room was really warm being in the basement but the skylight shut itself at night leaving the room very hot even with the heating off
