I loved the location, as it was very near the tourist attractions i wanted to see. I also appreciated that getting to the hotel from the airport was so convenient.. the taxi stand was right outside. The staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout my stay, and were quick with any requests.

The music from the lounge was a little loud one evening, as I was on the fourth floor and could still hear it.

great location friendly staff adequate room dusty floor hairs shower expensive parking

the location was great, especially for accessing nearby attractions. breakfast offered good choices, and i appreciated the helpful and friendly staff. the room size was also adequate for my needs (i didn't feel cramped at all).

i found some dusty areas on the floor, including small plastic bits and hairs. the shower also had some black curly hairs in it, not ideal. the hotel advertises parking, but there is no on-site parking available. a 15-minute walk to the car park is required, and there's a £39 charge even with a 50% discount.
