The people at the reception are extraordinary, excellent Service. The housekeeping people are superb and the guys from the restaurant give an outstanding service. This is the best hotel in the area with no doubts. Rooms are clean, big and comfortable. Location is pefect, in the center.

I have stayed here on several occasions & have always been very well looked after. My regards to all the great staff. Close to the town centre, Uni & law courts. Gym & pool great. Meals were all great, chef made me poached eggs for breakfast even when not on menu & lounge lovely. A true home away from home.

The hotel was comfortable and the service was excellent. The spa and pool in particular could certainly be doing with a refurb. All in all a pleasant stay. The cooked breakfast was plentiful and had a wide choice. The fruit section however was quite limited. All in all a very pleasant stay and would lodge in the same residence on... More

Staff is friendly and very helpful. Rooms are clean but a little outdated. Food is average, not bad but not exceptional either. This hotel does not have their own wi-fi but BTopenzone which price is ridiculous. The location is excellent, many pubs, restaurants and shopping malls at a walking distance. Overall a decent choice.

Stayed here for one night for business, although it's the second time I've stayed here. It's only a short walk from the train station and you pass lots of shops on the way as it's in the town centre.

We stay here because it is so handy to walk to the Riverside Stadium but also because it's usually a bit of a treat. The service is always good and the free pool and gym is great.(If you want a chance of getting it to yourself try and get there between 7am and 8am). We had breakfast for the first... More

Always full or nearly full so no bargain rates to be had. Only a twin room remained for my stay this week and it stunk of paint.
