Lovely hotel, extremely friendly staff. Room clean and stylish, with a large, well stocked bathroom. Fridge in room was a useful addition and full teas and coffee both in room and downstairs at reception for no additional cost. Perfect location as well, just 10 minutes walk from Waverley. Would definitely recommend staying again! 5 stars

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Check in was fast. Although room for they took £100 deposit for damage/breakages which was put back to my card one hour after check out. The room was comfortable and had the usual tea and coffee. The shower was nice as rwo heads. The step up to the shower was high and there was no grab rail, also nowhere to put your body wash or shampoo, hence the reduction in the score. Ad someone that has leg problem this felt dodgy, potential of falls.

The bed was superb - probably the best night's sleep we've had in a hotel. It's in a great location for shopping, tourism and good eateries. Only slight negative was, we weren't told about needing £100 refundable deposit (which some people may not have to hand) and expected to produce photo ID, so keep those in mind if you decide to visit. We will be staying again!

Verified review

6/10 Good

Good location and generally served its purpose. The hotel is looking quite tired and dated, and although the room was clean, it felt rather dull. There were also building works taking place directly opposite our window (around 3 metres away), which wasn't ideal. Price a bit high all considered.
