One of the few busy town centres left in the UK. Nice river area. Some great characters, and a mix of people types. Swans eat from your hand. Buskers. Happy mood.. it was sunny.

Its a bustling town, but night times can feel unsafe to strangers. Lots of beggars on the street but normally a good police presence and town pastors too. Like any uni town it can be rowdy and feel intimidating but thats the world we live in.

The town is being done up. It's got some lovely history and architecture unfortunately whilst the work is done a lot of people asking for money/ cigarettes around the station and surrounding area.

Great location close to station. Parking a little further from hotel, but discounted for Ibis guests. Central location so some street noise balanced by the abundance of eating/shopping available.
"Great location, lovely hotel.
Parking is good, there is a large free car park.
The restaurant is good serving great meals.
Only bugbear is that the service at breakfast is ok if you've got all day but not great if you want to get a move on. Why aren't you like other hotels where I can help myself to juice and cereal and that will shave 10 - 15 minutes off the time?"
"While the hotel is older, the rooms are spacious, the people are so helpful with bringing bags early, nice check-in etc. the restaurant is great and breakfast is free. Very nice all round! "
