The staff team and cleanliness was very good. Location was excellent and it was easy to get to the train station. Breakfast was ok..the hot chocolate was delicious. Suggestions: muffins and non microwaved scrambled eggs (because they tasted hard), and the option to have fried eggs, seeded bread and grapes.

Pleasant stay

Hotel was clean, and fresh, with a presentable reception area. Rooms were adequate and comfortable though the bathroom was a little strange and basic. Unfortunately only one lift was in use throughout our stay which meant longer waits on an upper floor and the card system didn't always work but overall was in a good location and easy access to local restaurants and station. Shame about the down and outs loitering in the local area.
