8/10 Very Good
Dec 4, 2024
Don't judge a book by it's cover!
Location is great, very easy to get regular buses into the city centre.
I had a single en suite room for one night. I'll start with the cons and then give the pros...
Cons:
- The room is soulless
- The bed is super creaky
-The TV is tiny and reception was poor on some channels
- A mug would be preferable to a teacup
- The digital combination locks are clever but they'd be better if they could be silenced as I could hear the ones for other rooms
- There's a gap under the door so you can hear people walking and talking
Pros:
- The room was warm
- It's at the rear of the property so no traffic noise
- Sockets with USBs next to the bed
- Plenty of tea and coffee
- The bed was comfy
The best?
The owners were absolutely lovely! Breakfast isn't served until 8am, which is a little late for business travellers. I thought I'd need to skip it but when I mentioned this I was told I could actually get into the dining room at 7.45am whilst the room was being set up. This was perfect and allowed me to have the cold offerings and coffee - and put in my cooked breakfast order early so it was ready just after 8am!
The breakfast was lovely - far better than the big name chains I usually stay at. The bread for toasting was good quality and had a seeded option, and the bacon was cooked exactly as I'd asked. In fact, I ate far more than I would usually!!
When I was leaving I was met with a huge wave and wished well for my day. On balance it was an enjoyable experience!
