The hotel itself was nice and close to everything. The lower rating is for 2 things. 1. The bathroom was missing shampoo holders or pumps. We had family staying in another room and they had theirs. Yes, we asked about it when housekeeping stopped by and nothing was done. 2. We had a classic double, 1 king bed per Expedia. The bed was a full size. I measured it. Our family had a larger room and a true king size bed. We asked the front desk and they said we do have a king size but the bigger one was an upgrade. What!? It was not even a queen size bed.

The location, staff and hotel overall is very good. Its close to King John's Castle and many other historical sites. Note that footpaths are quite narrow around much of the town and not the easiest to cart around a suitcase that I discovered on the walk from the train station.

Excellent city centre hotel

Stayed over Friday-Saturday to visit friends based at the University. Brilliant hotel for 3 friends looking for clean, modern, handy city centre accommodation at an attractive pricepoint. Excellent and extremely helpful communication from the reception staff both in advance of and during our stay, spacious room, clean and fresh with great bathroom facilities, and a small but adequate gym for a quick run on the treadmill. Thank you for an excellent stay.

The rooms were quite nice and the staff was lovely! But the smell of the building was disgusting. Staff told me it is their "signature scent" that is blown throughout the lobby and hallways, but it smelled like baby poo to me. I had to hold my breath when coming and going. The scent was so off-putting that I would never stay here again.

Hotel was nice on appearance and parking is free. There was a terrible smell in all public areas, like the sewerage or something. We were told the hotel had been closed for 6 days because of it. Probably should close again until its been rectified. We won't be going back. There wasn't even the offer of a voucher or refund when the issue was raised.
