8/10 Very good

Basic but functional room. Very clean shared facilities. Outstanding breakfast
Benjamin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was good to be greeted by a friendly face rather than struggling with a machine. I was shown to my room which was small but comfortable with the unexpected bonus of a small balcony, which I sat on to drink a much needed cuppa. Breakfast was excellent. I only ate from the self-service buffet which provided plenty of fruit, yoghurt and cereal to choose from. Although I didn't want a cooked breakfast it looked amazing and cooked to order. The coffee was excellent and piping hot. It was good to be able to help myself rather than have it brought to the table before I wanted it. All in all an excellent hotel at a reasonable price and easy walking distance from the railway and town centre.

Stayed in a single room with shared bathroom for one night. The bathrooms were never occupied which was good. Facilities were good and clean, staff were friendly and the breakfast was great! Good price too and so close to the station made it convenient. I would stay again :).
