"The toilet was so high up i couldn't do a sh*t. I'm six foot tall, but when I was sat on the toilet my feet were not touching the ground. Overall, the place was pretty bleak, e.g. no mirror in the bedroom to check my outfit, only one pillow so I got neck ache in bed, no towel rail or hooks anywhere in the bathroom so couldn't hang up a towel, no hook in the bedroom to hang up a coat, no toilet roll holder. These things are not expensive to install. The bathroom floor was a bit dirty when...

8/10 Good
"Lovely staff, helpful and happy. The rooms are modern, beds comfy, but the shower door didn't seal so we were left with a wet floor after every shower. We'd requested a quiet room, we certainly did get one which was great while trying to beat back jetlag; but were surprised that we didn't have a window... Quite a convenient location for those who like to walk about."
