8.6/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)

Closer to centre than I thought as don’t usually stay on that side of railway. It was a blessing as there was roadworks outside one hotel and work on the towers at another. Room nice but plain, bathroom very good. Quick check in and room available early. Staff very helpful.

Very nice clean hotel, was a little disappointed that all the reviews I read prior to booking, praised the breakfast, but there was no breakfast available during my stay. I congratulate the hotel on being eco friendly.
