What people say

Friendly staff, good clean facilities, fantastic location. stayed in a 6 person room, the rooms themselves were fairly basic but that's to be expected. Reasonably priced, in all, no complaints, very happy with my stay. the location was perfect for us, it's close to the central station, which was our main station to start every trip. the bedding was comfortable. Value for money, very close to central station.
