The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was lovely. It was a great central location. Despite the room being just about a few pubs/restaurants/clubs and people on the street just below, it was not that noisy.

Stayed in the City Suite. The room itself was really nice. Spacious, modern and updated. Had everything we needed. Although pull-out sleeper sofa in the living room was just uncomfortable. I don’t recommend using it unless you really have to. Also the noise was quite bad. My room was facing the street and I could hear traffic and ambulance late into the night even with my ear plugs. Also there’s a pub downstairs and I could hear people talking, yelling - but the worst was the music. The rumbling bass sound kept going past midnight. Might be better to get a room on higher levels so you are further away from noise source. Overall very nice hotel, just beware of the noise.

A wonderful place to stay with a comfy bed, large bathroom with shower and separate sitting area. They gave us a free upgrade to a King suite so appreciated the extra space. Great to have had coffee and tea supplied in our room with a microwave, kettle, fridge and microwave. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Parking is just around the corner for a nominal sur-charge. The only downside was our room on the 4th floor faced the main street and it was pretty noisy all night long. We will definitely stay here again
