I found the room very clean and spacious. The heating worked well (which was important). The hotel is located very centrally. I definitely recommend it.
I noticed that no fridge or microwave was in the room. It is a big downside in a self-catering hotel. The room was only cleaned if I displayed a card. I forgot one morning, but when I phoned to ask for the room to be made up, i was told i would be charged extra.

Fantastic Stay with Great Amenities

smooth check-inquick accessample parkingultra fast wi-fi
The self check-in process was surprisingly smooth. The provided codes worked on the first attempt, granting quick access to both the main door and the room itself. I found ample parking space in the hotel's designated area, a HUGE plus. The ultra fast wi-fi allowed for seamless streaming and work.
The bathroom lacked proper ventilation, a minor inconvenience.

The spacious king room featured a REALLY comfortable bed with fluffy towels. A quirky building design added a touch of character, while the room was clean and the heating worked perfectly were nice.

The hotel's central location is ideal for exploring local attractions. Several coffee shops, a pub, a cocktail bar, an Indian restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, and a fish and chip shop are nearby. A regular bus service operates just opposite the hotel.

A good cooked breakfast was included, the value for money stood out. The scrambled eggs were beautiful. The breakfast service was efficient, which ensured a prompt start to the day, and a good man served me it, told me about the curfew.
