prime location easy access
The location is PRIME, only minutes from the train station!!! The room's decor included lovely little touches. Access using the pin code system was super easy. It's very handy. Communication before check-in was polite and helpful too!
The room faced the car park. I could hear the back door close sometimes.

limited storage no drawer
The room was super clean. The location was great, quiet and relaxing.
I had issues with storage space. The tiny room had no storage, not even a drawer. It was hard to keep things organized. We lived out of our suitcases. We also struggled with towels because there was nowhere to hang them.

lovely stay

fine decor quick communication best hotel
i appreciated the spotlessly clean and fine decor throughout the building. the bed was the comfiest i've ever slept in. communication was quick, a lovely bottle of fizz was left in the room, a nice touch. i travel for work a lot and this hotel is up there as the best i have stayed in.
the kettle and tray area was quite dusty, which i found a little off-putting.
