From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and escorted me to my clean, comfortable, and quiet room. The hotel's location was perfect for me as it was near the university and had plenty of parking spaces available. the cooked breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious and offered great value for only £5 per head.
Nothing at all.

Nothing not to love. The hotel left no room for complaints, providing a satisfying experience.
The cleanliness was impeccable, with my room being cleaned and refreshed daily. The hotel facilities were great, especially the reliable hot water supply in the shower.

The location of the hotel was perfect for me, as it was close to the university area and conveniently situated on the South Eastern fringe of the city with easy access to the M4. the breakfast options provided were excellent, offering a wide variety of choices to suit different preferences.
Not obvious to find, with limited signage or directions.
The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always there to help me with any requests or questions I had. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast they served was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with everything in working order. Plus, the price was very reasonable, especially for budget travelers like myself. I was able to choose between sharing a bathroom or having an en-suite, both at affordable prices.
Can't fault anything about it.
The best aspects were the cleanliness, hotel facilities, parking, and transportation. The room was spotless and the hotel had everything we needed. The parking was ample and easily accessible. We were pleased to find that the bus stop to the city center was just a short walk away, with frequent buses. The location was convenient, not far from the town center. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. We also enjoyed a delicious and affordable breakfast. it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
