Great location. Very clean room. Great service. Food for breakfast and especially dinner was exceptional! Highly recommend ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony 4 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We were a late arrival and the staff had turned the heater on in the room, very thoughtful. ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ian 18 Mar 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Basic accommodation Good points: comfortable bed, large shower, breakfast included. Not-so-good points: shoddy furniture and surroundings, room very small, only one teaspoon and no way to wash up cups and glasses, dining facilities quite poor. ![Chair torn.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/457968F0A1B19C05EDA6F030CB2816A5D015D1541710753951864.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Television table scratched](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03149D62159B9DC331B972E82B467DD2C85C5C801710753989116.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Gap round edge of door, letting light through](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8056FA7F7E9816449A405275E9510E70750C0A2C1710754017945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Window frame damaged](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B0B78B02503EC729FA98BBDBC0C5195191B88DE11710754047687.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stuart 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Needs a refurb Hadn't stayed there for years so it was a bit of a surprise to see how it's aged. The rooms are quite dark and no Aircon. Rooms on the road side are traffic noisy so beware. Beds are comfy. The food is pretty good and the staff helpful and it's catering more for the regularly tradies who stay there than holiday travellers ##### Stuart Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I liked the price, cleanliness and area. I didn’t like the noise from people outside room during night. Heating not set up. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Queens University Belfast - Elms Village - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Queens-University-Belfast-Elms-Village.h1595569.Hotel-Information) > > [W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-W-Abu-Dhabi-Yas-Island.h2976113.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Puerto de la Duquesa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Puerto-De-La-Duquesa-Manilva-Hotels.s50-n3000373118-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luttrell Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Luttrell-Arms-Hotel.h2276877.Hotel-Information) > > [Hastings House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Leonards-On-Sea-Hotels-Hastings-House.h2243119.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Hersonissos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Hersonissos-Hotels.s40-0-d6034035.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [NH Johannesburg Sandton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Hilton-Sandton.h70281.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santorini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels.d177970.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Braintree-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Braintree.h1791545.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d1334-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Lahore Gulberg II](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahore-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Lahore-Gulberg-II.h47060571.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Air-Mauritius-Flights.cMK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Luton (LTN) to Bucharest (OTP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ltn/otp/london-to-bucharest) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Cairo (CAI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cai/london-to-cairo) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Timbuktu (TOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/tom/london-to-timbuktu) > > [Flights from Dubai (DXB) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dxb/ncl/dubai-to-newcastle) ### Activities ### Packages > [St. Helier Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helier-Beach-Jersey.d6078817.Attraction) > > [Puzzlewood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puzzlewood-Newland.d553248621561940441.Attraction) ### General
