It is lovely hotel very close to the city centre. It is a shame that you now have to pay £10 to use the swimming pool and hot tub. These used to be free and this perk was one of the reasons I stayed there. Good buffet style breakfast with lots of choice.

Hotel was lovely been before but check in was awful didn’t believe what I said when they had left the breakfast addition pending on the system and then tried charging me full price till I managed to prove I had done it. Also the additional cost of using the pool isn’t great as a resident

There was no air-conditioning and our windows were bolted shut during a sweltering weekend. Thankfully the staff were more than accommodating and assisted with a dusty fan and unbolting the window. Reception during check in made our stay pleasant and was more than welcoming and went out of their way with complimentary goods.

Awful stay as the entire hotel aircon system was broken, room was crazy hot and it was impossible to sleep. Staff were unhelpful and defensive about the situation - frankly bizarre that they had no idea about how and when the system might be repaired (it wasnt by the following day.) The water also went off for hours the next morning.
