  • Sue

    Hotel itself was great but opposite our room there was major building work going on and the noise, which started at 7.00am, was really bad. As the room was quite warm we had to have the windows open which obviously exacerbated the noise levels.

    It was a very last minute, The location was perfect, breakfast was very good a great start to the day, Staff were very helpful and always happy.
  • Mylene

    Location was perfect as just across the train station. I was able to sleep even with the noise from the trains, thus not for people who are noise sensitive. I was checked in earlier without charge and left my luggage after checking out.
