Nice little hotel with great parking, and a short walk from the centre of town. I must say the hotel staff service is exceptional and give a special mention to Toni, who was so helpful, friendly, and informative. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in town.

Stayed here for two nights, must say it was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and always assisted where needed. Plenty of parking space and was free if you are a hotel guest. We booked the suite which was really nice and spacious with AC and Nespresso machine. We had the breakfast both days, first day breakfast I had the eggs Benedict which was really nice. The only small point was on the second day I had the florentine, and they were pretty raw… this was probably because the breakfast time got really busy and the chef must have got busy as the orders kept rolling in, we had to send the eggs back to be cooked more. But honestly this will not deter me from coming back to this hotel. I recommend this hotel.

Rooms are smaller than average. Even large double barely has enough space. They only provide water bottles in premium rooms imagine that in this heat. I would understand it if the charges weren't higher then most hotels nearby. Should've booked some place else.

Noisiest hotel we’ve ever stayed in & definitely not a 4* but the staff are lovely & very accommodating but sadly we didn’t manage to get much sleep as you can hear everything. There was 6 of us that booked and all staying in different parts of the hotel and we’ve all said the same thing so it’s not just one part of the hotel that’s noisier than another. Sadly I wouldn’t stay here again for that reason as I’d expect a decent nights sleep. The rooms are clean & tidy but they definitely need to work on sound proofing as the noise really lets it down & for £153 a night I’ve stayed in far better
