Will definitely stay again, great location. Clean, warm and lovely breakfast.

Pros: Great location just off the motorway, near the sports stadium. Warm welcome with a little box of chocolates and a bottle of water for us both.

Cons: Nothing, it was great. Excellent breakfast too.

Clean, good price quality, easy to reach by car, good for overnight stay while travelling

Pros: Very clean, good price quality, next to the highway, so easy to reach by car, plenty EV chargers in the underground parking, , good bed, decent breakfast selection. Good stop for an overnight stay on the road.

Cons: Parking garage entry is fairly steep, so would not try with a low clearance sports car. But there is plenty outdoor parking and our low clearance sedan made the ramp just fine.

Good value for money

Pros: Quiet clean room, good shower, nice breakfast and friendly staff

A good and comfortable stay with fair value for money, as long as you consider the distance from the city center.

Pros: The room matched the description perfectly. Everything in the room was working properly, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, the room was clean and functional.

Cons: The location is a bit far from the city center, but it is still reasonable considering the price. Just something to keep in mind if you plan to spend a lot of time in the center.

Excellent value for money with very well kept rooms.

Pros: Easy check in late at night. Excellent suite, with sofa bed nicely made up for the children. Clean and well functioning. Great selection of food for breakfast.

Cons: Nothing.

Sarah 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Lovely hotel and staff

Pros: Lovely staff and we had a lovely room too. Very clean and breakfast was very good. We both really enjoyed our stay.

Cons: The only downside was we only had 1 tea cup and 1 set of towels for 2 adults. It wasn’t a major issue for us as we managed to sort it out but that was the only issue we encountered.

Perfect location, nice room, wonderful breakfast, ample parking at reasonable price

Pros: Perfect location, nice room, wonderful breakfast, ample parking at reasonable price

Cons: Nothing worth dislike

Tim 8/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Great bedroom, nice design so that the kids could sleep on the sofa bed the other side of the wall but within the same room, it provided a bit of separation but meant we could keep an ear out on them. Everything was clean and comfortable. There was a little kitchenette too with coffee (pod style) machine and kettle with reasonable stock of stuff. The buffet breakfast was pretty good, the girls enjoyed eating too much Nutella and pancakes!

Cons: The location could be nicer, it's practically located though. The car parking was a little random with overflow parking on the grass on metal sheets. There was plenty of it and an underground car park too.

Really good until checkout

Pros: The suite was well equipped and perfect for a family not necessarily wanting to eat out

Cons: Parking charge was excessive. Reception staff tried to charge me for second time on checkout. I had to prove that I had already paid which was disappointing
