Oaks Wellington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was only there for a night but I was very happy with the room. The hotel itself is pretty centrally located and has a lot of cafes, restaurants and shopping around nearby. I was in an interior room (no windows) but it was plenty of room, had everything I needed, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great. Highly recommend and would stay here again."

"Everything was in good order and the staff very helpful.. Breakfast is a bit steep but in line with everyone else… There’s a brilliant breakfast place less than 1 min walk which was amazing and quite a bit cheaper, I would hands down recommend breakfast there.
