8/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)
Room was comfortable and the bedding and the towels were fresh. We had to move rooms late on a our first night due to a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom but the staff quickly resolved the issue and were really helpful and apologetic, in both rooms the carpets were really stained and in need of a deep clean. The reception area and restaurant are are lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful, the hotel is in an ideal location.

Room and hotel were ok for the price point but of a couple of basic design flaws were sorted it would make a difference. The residents exit at the back of the building while handy wasn't the nicest.
