“Can't fault it for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here following a work function having picked-up a cheap deal through a price comparison site. Although we were only in the hotel for a matter of hours, we couldn’t fault the experience. Check-in and check-out were efficient; the room was very comfortable and considerably larger than we had expected for the price; and the much-needed breakfast the following morning was excellent.

The location of the hotel is not in the dead-centre of town, but can be reached within a 30 minute walk from most of the popular areas – or a £5 taxi ride if you’re feeling a bit lazy!

Very good location in the city centre, easily accessible from the station. Everything you would want or expect from a hotel of this price, friendly reception staff, they were able to change the rooms for our convenience. Would definitely recommend.

“Excellent Stay!!”

Would highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed for one night at the Macdonald and would definately go back. Staff are very friendly and helpful, location is good...a taxi cost £4 to Portland st or you could walk it takes approx 10mins. The rooms are first class, amazing, nice and big with a queen size bed. Breakfast was lovely with various selection and plenty of it! I can't compliment the hotel enough, all i can say is that it was perfect for us.

“Good quality stay, better pillows needed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

The stay provided everything you would expect of such a place. Clean, tidy and well maintained.

The panoramic windows, even those overlooking the station, provided a really interesting view.

The thermal spa, free for guests, was a nice treat and is presented in an unfussy manner.

The mild disappointment was the bed itself. The double mattress sank in the middle and the pillows were a little uncomfortable. Poor for such a quality hotel.

Money-saving tip: The NCP opposite the hotel's own car-park is £6.50 per 24hr as opposed to £12 for the hotel car-park

“Great location, a very good business hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012 via mobile

I turner out of the station and there it was, 200 yes walk. A very comfortable nights stay. The only slight grumble was that the wireless network was not working in my room on the day I stayed
