Great location and nicely managed hotel with an awesome breakfast. ##### Lewis Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### William 29 Dec 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed only one night--six people in three rooms. We did not get the renovated rooms. The bathroom was extremely small but fine. We did not get the breakfast. The location of this hotel was perfect for exploring the Christmas markets. One negative was that the recommended parking garage was full, so we had to park our rental car at the main train station, which was a bit of a distance away and more expensive than anticipated. One note about cleanliness: I happened to spot a an old room key or something under the luggage stand/box mounted on the wall. Who knows how long it had been there, but it just made me feel like the room was not thoroughly cleaned. Otherwise, every staff member we dealt with was really friendly and helpful. ##### William Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yael 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location. ##### Yael Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen 14 Nov 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness The hotel Was nice staff was friendly. Our bathroom smelt like urine. It permeniated the room. The bathroom light was out of service. I did ask the front desk for some spray to clean. Not sure they understood what I was asking. It was kinda gross. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Such a lovely place.

However dint like the room. Actual one dint have AC so they gave other room which was smaller with really small washroom. For this cost, it was not an option I will select again. ##### Just Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Budva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budva-Hotels-Hotel-Budva.h13004230.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Melbourne-Airport.h12401.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Colorado Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colorado-Springs-Hotels.d602991.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Pool in Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d2817-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ibis Styles Basel City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Basel-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Basel-City.h16464032.Hotel-Information) > > [Kents Hill Park Training and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Kents-Hill-Park.h3910390.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Basel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Basel-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Basel.h48365577.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Borth-y-Gest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borth-Y-Gest-Caravan-Parks.d3000401276-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [ Morton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-THE-MORTON-HOTEL.h53791563.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heathrow-Airport-Hotels.0-aLHR-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Sunny Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunny-Beach-Hotels.d6047710.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Saint George Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bansko-Hotels-Saint-George-Palace.h3019454.Hotel-Information) > > [JAZ Aquamarine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-Jaz-Aquamarine-Resort-All-Inclusive.h3032478.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Manchester City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-City-Centre-Manchester-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-n6192111-0-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Seahawk Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thornton-Cleveleys-Hotels-Seahawk-Holiday-Apartments.h55357705.Hotel-Information) > > [GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Basel-Hotels-GAIA-HOTEL.h25173.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Sunny Roma B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Holiday-Sunny-Roma-BB.h9853274.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Abuja (ABV) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abv/gla/abuja-to-glasgow) ### Cars > [Car hire in Alderney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Alderney.d284.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Stade de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stade-De-France-Paris.d6065225.Attraction) > > [Victoria Art Gallery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Art-Gallery-Bath-City-Centre.d6151689.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth.dx2372) ---
