Location. Central, close to all major attractions and night life.

Cleanliness. It was awful - the carpet older than the cathedral, full of stains and dust. The bathroom worn out, missing pieces of equipment, old drilled holes in the walls. Breakfast buffet very basic, no warm options.

- Able to fit us in at short notice (issue with previously book accommodation). - Friendly staff. - Located right next to Marlowe Theatre. - Able to leave luggage at reception on departure day. - nice bar seating area

- Rather lumpy bed! - shower faulty making use difficult. Other room had shower under the slanted ceiling, also hard to use! Both ensuites were small/a squeeze - poor breakfast selection for intolerances/dietary requirements (e.g. only 1 banana in the fruit bowl, no vegan yoghurt, no gluten free bread, granola or cereal.) - only 1 member of staff on duty so a lot of waiting!
