"The room was spotless, everything looked new and well looked after. Comfy double bed, sofa bed for my son wasn’t great, very creaky and hard but was only there 1 night. Really impressed with the clean, toxin free toiletries in the room, big plus from me. Breakfast was ok, not much hot stuff was ready and had to wait for them to be refilled. Breakfast area was quite messy, staff were around but not really noticing what needed to be replenished or tidied up. Overall lovely hotel, in a great location for access to car park and terminal. Would definitely stay again."

The Burlington Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was adequate, the buffet breakfasts were excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful - my only criticism was the shower in the bathroom was antiquated. Not only was the water pressure extremely weak - the water stopped flowing when the shower spray-head was raised to head height making it impossible to wash your hair, there was no water temperature control - you had to turn on the hot and cold taps separately - but because the water pressure was so poor, the hot tap had to be fully on and if you put the cold tap slightly on to reduce the temperature, the water went stone cold. In the end , we ended up having strip washes at the hand basin. Such a shame as everything else was very good."
