I didn't opt into not having my room service for eco reasons, which I did consider, but no-one came to tidy the bed or, at least, leave a bottle of water. That was a bit disappointing.

Fantastic modern clean hotel

Really great modern clean hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. 24 hour bar in reception. Rooms were really clean and had everything needed, although small. Bed was comfy and a decent size. Location was amazing! There was numerous pubs, shops, takeaways, and the train station all within a couple of mins walk! Everything you could need on the door step. Will 100% stay again.

It is a mirror in decor of other Motel One locations. I like that this one didnt charge extra for breakfast. The list of negatives is longer. 1. Zero space in the room. No walking around the bed. 2. No space for 2 suitcases to be in the room using or storong. 3. Unequal plugs for each side of the bed. Is the left side sleeper the only one with electricity needs. 4. The location is horrid. Graffiti, homeless, trash etc. I will choose differently next time.

A great stay!

Great location near the train station - about a 20 minute walk to the bus station. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were clean and tidy. I found the mattress uncomfortable due to the two single mattresses being pushed together so the groove in the middle would wake me up. TV was a bit tricky to work in the beginning and with an occasional signal issue. Would’ve preferred a hot breakfast but they had good offerings for continental and a great coffee machine. Perfect hotel if you’re travelling in by train with lots of food options nearby.

Disappointing

My stay at Motel One was unfortunately not a great experience. The general cleanliness of the room was fine, e.g clean bathroom, however the TV remote was DISGUSTING. It was absolutely caked in filth that I had to wash my hands after handling it. The bedside tables were also a dusty, as well as the tea/coffee tray. For the cost of the room, I don't think it's value for money, I've slept in budget hotels that were more cleanly.
