Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite cozy and convenient. The room, although lacking air conditioning, was satisfactory, and the leisure facilities were a nice addition. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for both dining options and entertainment, with easy access to various amenities. The dining experience was mostly enjoyable, except for a minor letdown with the black pudding. Overall, a pleasant stay marred only by a few minor issues.
The hotel offers modern and clean rooms, with a slight issue in the spa area cleanliness. The service is welcoming and helpful, despite minor room size concerns for two guests. The location is green and convenient but slightly affected by floods, while dining provides good choices but may need improvement in food temperature. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly staff and excellent leisure facilities.
The hotel was lovely and cosy, with very helpful staff. However, the rooms were a little small and the morning peace was disturbed by noise from the bar loading area. The service was prompt and friendly, but the outside appearance seemed messy due to the ramp. The location was nice and convenient for access to restaurants and entertainment, but lacked wardrobe space in one room. The dining experience was good overall with a variety of food choices. The facilities were satisfactory, but no effort was made in a specific eating area.
The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to bus and tram travel into the city, with inclusive gym and spa facilities that add great value to your stay. The service provided is exceptional, friendly, and welcoming. However, there was a minor inconvenience with the dining experience being slightly below expectations. The price for the room-only option was reasonable.
