Sami, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ideal if you want the town , unfortunately whilst we stayed the stench of drugs within and outside hotel was not pleasant. Not sure if it was used just as a hotel.

Micheal, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was excellent, breakfast was ok. Beds very comfy, location good especially if you're a shopper.
KAREN, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good room close to trains
Room was warm and comparable, last time we stayed we complained as it was freezing, but gave it another chance. Slept well, breakfast was very good. The only thing I found is that the staff couldn’t be bothered, tried to avoid any kind of eye contact, never said hello, please or thank you-very strange.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Adequate stay
Rooms were fine, clean and comfortable. However no service on our second day. We only had breakfast on our first morning but found it disappointing with bacon overcooked and several items cold as had been standing too long. Obviously heaters not quite up to the job. Overall a decent stay for the cost
Kenneth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room is nice and the stay was good. But the property doesn't have parking. We must do paid parking externally. Breakfast was really good. They offer tea and coffee at all time.

Excellent value with good breakfast included. Convenient for the station making it an ideal base for our visit to London.

Good place to stay, close to shop and airport. Nice breadfast. The only problem is a little bit difficult to find the door of the hotel.

This is a good hotel in a bit of a poor location. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the breakfast is nice and the staff welcoming.

Very small single room but ok. Price was great plus a free full English breakfast what’s not too like.

Excellent short stay hotel friendly staff, nice breakfast, did find it hard to find though.
DEREK, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK for a short stay
Shower didn't work properly and pillows very uncomfortable. The room was too hot and couldn't find any way to turn heat down. Breakfast was OK. It's very convenient for town centre and train station.
Ryan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Homeless Shelter
Be very careful if you chose this hotel - it is a homeless hotel, so lots of people living there. Its not a great hotel experience!
