I booked the hotel without reading the reviews on trip advisor, after reading such negative reviews I was anxious about my forthcoming stay. However, what I experienced was very good, and I think the previous reviewers had unrealistic expectations.

I imagine those reviews written by old middle class couples, on tight family budgets, feeling the squeeze looking to save a bit of money and thinking that easyHotel is the same as a Premier Inn. They are then shocked and horrified that it did not meet their unrealistic expectations.

Firstly, premier inn's are great, they advertise at £30 a night, but I have never ever been able to get such a price. I booked less than a week before my trip and got the room at easy hotel for £30, I searched other rooms and found premier inns at twice the price.

I will admit the rooms are basic with little furnishings, but that is perfect for a quick one night in town for business. The room was very clean, the bathroom was spotless and thought it was fantastic last minute value. My room was very warm, to address the need to go down to reception to change temperatures, you can call them off your mobile and instruct the 24hour manned reception to alter it for you!

The woman who was at reception was incredibly helpful when i needed to print off a last minute document in the middle of the night, spending 20 minutes of her time as we tried to get the document in the right format for their computer.

Location was perfect, I parked in the new multi storey near the railway station, 2 minutes walk from the station to the hotel, then its another 2 minutes from the hotel into the town centre/mall/cinema.

I thought my stay was great, of course read the rest of the reviews, but be realistic, this is not a deluxe 5 star hotel, its quick, easy and convenient. It is the fast food of the hotel world which is affordable, convenient and "easy"!

So give them a break, it's everything you need for a good nights sleep.

I stayed in this hotel for one night. Sukhmeen who worked at the desk that night was very helpful with my non-standard invoice request. Thank you again.

Dodgy area, windows wont open, i had to go to reception 3 times (the last a 3 a.m to ask to TURN OFF THE AIR after freezing and then melting inside the room. For "safety reasons" they cant turn it off. u cant control the air conditioner nor open the windows and there is no way to call to reception u gOtta get out of bed and gO. Because of this constant heat i have a headache and o cant sleep. Plastic boxers as a bathroom and thin walls so ur able tO listen people in the noisy bed next door. Charges even for watching tv. Much better to go to the B&B next door, u will save 20£ and have some breakfast

This hotel is fine for a very short stay, the room is basic, no window, kettle or anywhere to out your clothes, but then it is cheap. I had to pay a £10 deposit to iron one item, and £7 is returned, also there is a £5 charge to hire the TV remote control for 24 hours, pay a bit extra and get a decent hotel. However, the staff was friendly and helpful and location is convenient for town centre and the train station.
