"The noise would put me off staying again. But everything else was fine."

5.0

Great location, represented reasonable mid week value. Key fob access in and out of the building made access easy, and a public car park directly opposite which you can book via an app. Large room with plenty of space and everything you needed for a short stay.

It was really noisy from the room above. It’s a very old building and sounds insulation between rooms is I suspect non existent. So I could hear their voices, the music they had in, their dogs moving around and every footstep they took. Basically everything! It was normal noise, not the people being especially noisy. If you book I would suggest you ask for a room on the top floor.

Clean, comfortable, well located. Id recomnend and stay again.

The smell from the lower ground toilets to the accomodation was very unpleasant. Almost off putting until you got past that small space into the accomodation.

The room and bathroom were clean and spacious.

There was a light in my room which it was not possible to turn off. The car parking arrangements meant waking at 5am, this really affected being able to rest. It would have been good to be offered breakfast.
