I love this hotel. Its has such a cosy feel, its always very clean and even though its next to the train station, noise is never an issue. Breakfast was also delicious.

My one complaint: not enough sockets for hair dryer etc and in the wrong place. Kneeling on the floor to dry your hair is not fun!

We were given an accessible room. I don’t feel these should be given to people who don’t need them. The shower room was unpleasant.

Nobody on the desk on arrival had to walk around looking needed to phone if getting back to hotel after 10pm so porter could open door. So called bar in darkness when we got back at 10 very limited drinks. Room needed blinds and blackout curtains to keep light out. A overpriced hotel will not be going back.
