Hotel a little outdated in decor but bed was comfy and there's plenty of space in the rooms. Breakfast ok, but would have liked a little more choice in hot drinks as only filter coffee, no latte or cappuccino.

Pleasant stay

This hotel was acceptable for the price, it is very tired looking and dated, the breakfast was good with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit salad, natural yogurt, toast, fresh coffee, tea, orange juice, full English, croissants, ham and cheese baguette. We didn’t try the food at other meal times. There was a full bar which was reasonably priced. Lift to all floors. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, especially the waitress at breakfast, unfortunately I don’t recall her name but she was the small one with glasses, she was always welcoming and very helpful.
