8/10 Very Good! (606 reviews)
I booked two rooms, one with a double bed and one with two singles. We were given two rooms each with two single beds. One room was too small. Our rooms were on the third floor without lift. Was hard to go up and down so many steps.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the heater in the room didn’t work properly. Bathroom was clean but very small, shower stall was tiny!

9.6/10 Exceptional! (110 reviews)
Staff were great especially Lucy in the restaurant. Hotel is a gem. Breakfast was delicious and gym is nice and big with lots of equipment. Only negative was the service charge on the bill. I hope this isn't going to bleed into the hotel sector so owners can pay their staff less. I paid this time but definitely will not pay again.
