The room was tiny, which was ok, however, the bathroom was so cramped that it was actually difficult to use! For 2 people it was tolerable for one night, any longer would have been a real struggle. In addition, bathroom door banged all night, we initially thought that this was because the bathroom window was open, but it was the same with the window closed.

It is an ideal location to gunwharf quays and city centre but the rooms are incredibly small. The town centre being nearby can also be very noisy due to clubs/music. Loud music went on outside until 1-2am so be wary of that. 🙂

Great value for money

The staff were lovely, it was so easy to get to from the train station. The room was small but sufficient for an overnight stay. The breakfast was good value for money. It was clean and fresh and a nice choice of food. My sister’s and myself there was 6 of us all complemented the food and cleanliness.

We stayed here for the Victorious festival and the location was perfect. We arrived at 10:30am and there were stil quite a few car parking spaces left. Staff were very welcoming and hotel was quite. Great buffet breakfast.

Easy access to the transport services. Bus stop outside the hotel, takes you to the main terminal from there you can plan your days out using local transport. Quiet due to university campus shut for summer but would imagine busy during term periods. Easy to walk into town, The Terrace Cafe was a great find.

Small but all you need.

Rooms are very small but have everything you need for a short stay. EV charging in the car park is helpful too.
