“Excellent budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Visited this hotel in August 2010. Since this option is not available, I have chosen March 2011.

I found this hotel good and well connected with business centres. The guest service is great with helpful and friendly staff. Just stayed for one day but loved my stay. The rooms are small but good for single person stay.

I like this hotel and will definitely be returning.

“great budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

The service here is great, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are minimalist but good. The bed is a bit harder than some people would like, but we loved. We booked the night before so paid a bit more than others have, but it was still good value.

The rooms are sparse, the tea isn't great, but there is a discount on parking (very close to the hotel) and the location of the hotel to the rail station couldn't be closer. Some rooms in the hotel have beautiful views of the Blade at dawn.

I like this hotel and will definitely be returning.

Room Tip: A room with a view of the sun set is striking.

“Excellent position”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

This hotel is really near the station, perfect for what we wanted. It is the usual Ibis format but very welcoming. Rooms very pleasant. We had a sort of pod as a bathroom with everything you need. No shampoos etc if you are interested in that. Beds comfortable. I rang them after booking on line to ask for a twin room at the back. This was done. Unfortunately they did not manage to put keep out a noisy guest in our corridor. We were too tired to phone down but should have done. It spoilt our visit though. Shame. We did not try the breakfast due to earlier comments. The station wasn't good enough for that unless you want a sandwich or the usual muffins . We should have tried a cafe. So we made that mistake too!

Room Tip: Ring them separately and ask for what you wanting quoting your reference from internet booking.
