My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room, priced at £59, was large and clean with lovely little touches like apples, spring water, and chocolates. However, the room we paid £160 for was a letdown with a musty smell, stains on the carpet and curtains, and cramped bathroom space.

The hotel rooms are spacious, clean, and extremely well-set up with very comfortable beds. The staff is helpful and accommodating. However, the loud music at the reception can be disruptive. The location is convenient for both leisure and business travelers, being close to the train station and city center. The dining experience may need improvement in terms of service and quality, with some missed items and delays. Overall, a great value for money stay with friendly service and comfortable rooms.

The hotel was in a convenient location for quick access to the city center on foot, perfect for both a shopping trip or leisurely city break. The staff were friendly, but there were hygiene issues with vomit bits still visible on the walls. The dining experience offered a great variety, including a pancake machine, but was hindered by poor lighting that made it difficult to see the hot water and fill tea pots.

The rooms were of a good size, but a bit dusty. It was small for a group of four and uncomfortably warm as the window couldn't be opened fully due to its loose handle.
