adequate stay

great location easy walk poor insulation massive gap
the location was excellent. i went to the playhouse, and it was only a three-minute walk. there were loads of pubs and places to eat basically right outside the door.
poor sound insulation. i could hear the wind howling because because of the single glazing and proximity to the roof. massive gap between the floor and the room door leading to the communal hallway and stairs so you could hear everything.

Wonderful Stay in Town

central location spacious feel thoughtful snacks
This hotel had a great location with restaurants just a short walk away. The room featured high ceilings, giving it a spacious feel. The complimentary snacks were a lovely addition, especially the Tunnock's treats. The locally sourced bathroom products also had a wonderful scent.
The sound insulation wasn't great. I could clearly hear noises from the hallway. A gap under the door let in a lot of sound.

The rooms feature passcode access rather than keys, very practical. The hotel provided instant coffee, machine capsules, milk, and sugar! There were plenty of towels and bathrobes. I found even hot chocolate.

convenient location friendly staff comfortable room
the location near cool places was very convenient. the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. the room was very comfy and tidy. i especially liked the complimentary toiletries, a thoughtful touch.
the hot water temperature was inconsistent. it varied suddenly from kinda warm to scalding. this made showering a bit tricky and required constant adjustments to avoid discomfort.
