I stayed at this hotel for one night and never again. You pay extra for the Soap, Shampoo & Shower Gel. Room was surprisingly spacious however beds were smaller than a 3ft single with hard mattresses , no top sheets and the furniture in the room was very cheap and basic. It is advertised as a budget hotel but at... More

The hotel is nicely located, only 10-15 minutes walking to the city centre. I can recommend to walk to the closely located shopping mall "The Mailbox" and walk along the canal into the city centre. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was located on the first floor, luckily, as the elevator seems to be out of order... More

The rooms were very small, not enough towels or bedding, paying for parking was not good, also no hot food for breakfast. Apart from this the staff were very friendly and helpful. Probably wouldn't stay there again.

Excellent value and short walk to centre.Friendly and helpful staff.Clean room with ensuite shower and separate toilet.Pub and shop close by.Can recommend to anyone on a budget but still needs to be close to city center and also have somewhere clean and fairly comfortable to sleep.

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst on a training course in the city centre. After my previous stay in the Premier Inn for the previous module of the course this was a bit of a disappointment. I was initially a bit depressed by the sparse, unfriendly room, however actually found it quite comfortable. 8/10 in the cleanliness steaks - a... More

Stayed with friends for a night out from London. Cheap, cheerful hotel. Friendly staff. The door staff where a bit off putting and more like thugs but just ignore them. Room could have been cleaner and the noise from other rooms a bit quieter, if you want a quiet hotel this is not the place on a Friday or Saturday... More
