Guest reviews
Very good
Liked: Great location, lovely and modern, clean and comfortable.
Had a comfortable stay was a small room however great value for money
Disliked: The small table for tea and coffee. To small for making tea coffee machine to faffy would have much preferred a small kettle to make a nice cup of tea with a larger table was really difficult to try and use. Whilst I was initially excited at having coffe maker lovely idea but feel a lot of people would rather just have a simple kettle.
Enjoyable, comfortable and fun
Liked: Great location, well presented modern designed facilities. The accommodation was spotless.
Disliked: Although the finish of the room was clean and modern the toilet was rather small and hard to access as the wash basin is extremely close to the toilet bowl. This was only a minor inconvenience, but at times a significant one.
Great central location and comfortable room
Liked: Very handy central location within town centre - room provided all necessary facilities (tea/coffee iron ironing board hair dryer etc)
Disliked: Slight hiccup upon arrival with door keys not in locker but resolved quickly by phone call - roof top room had sloped roof on one side
2 night stay was plenty. Shower room and sink far too small
Disliked: Obviously had a roof issue and this top floor flat requires decoration. There were no tea bags and toiletries insufficient for 2 people for 2 nights.
Very pleasant few days
Liked: Lovely, spacious bedroom. Comfy bed. Spotlessly clean.
Disliked: The bathroom was a little cold. Certainly bearable though.
