fantastic experience!

quick availabilitysimple check-inhelpful manwasted day
I was happy to find this place quickly. i had checked out of my previous accommodation and checked their site for availability. i secured a room for immediate check in for £99 for the night. This was great. check in was simple and a very friendly, helpful man sped up the process for me.
I wish i had found this place sooner. The day was somewhat wasted since i didn't sleep well the night before. this wouldn't have happened had i stayed here from the beginning.
Location

The location couldn't be better. It is opposite the main station and cathedral. there is also a little noodle cafe underneath if you become hungry. the hotel is right in the centre of it all.
