The hotel is conveniently situated very close to the city center, only a 15-minute walk from St James' Park, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms could be improved, particularly the bathrooms, but they do offer a double bed and a single bed. The service was a mix of amazing and disappointing experiences, with understanding staff members willing to accommodate requests, but also encountering rudeness from one of the receptionists during breakfast. The location is great for accessing restaurants and being near the central station for convenient travel. The dining options could be better, especially for those with dietary restrictions like gluten-free needs. Overall, the hotel provides a decent stay with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and in good condition, but unfortunately, the radiator control was a bit tricky, and the window was stuck in an open position. On the bright side, the staff were very accommodating when I requested to swap rooms. However, the receptionist at breakfast was quite rude and seemed to have forgotten all about customer service.

The hotel excels in its perfect location, just behind the train station and a short walk from the city center. The rooms are cozy, with the added perk of windows that open, a thermostat, and a bath. The cooked breakfast is a delightful touch, but the dining options can be a letdown at times. On the bright side, the staff goes above and beyond to assist with any request, making the service top-notch. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor dining considerations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the soundproofing in the rooms was terrible, the bed was comfortable, but the overall finish, like the ripped carpet, was not up to standards. Additionally, the lack of air conditioning or windows that open was disappointing. On the other hand, Paul at reception provided amazing service, going above and beyond to assist us, although the breakfast receptionist was rude. The location was excellent for exploring the city center or attending events at Utilita Arena, but there were some noise disturbances. The dining options, including gluten-free choices, had good food but lacked variety.

The hotel is conveniently located just behind the train station, making it very central and accessible. The rooms are well-equipped with quality beds, but some experienced issues with the toilet not flushing properly. The service, especially at breakfast, was lacking courtesy from one particular receptionist named Paul. Despite these setbacks, the dining options were disappointing with limited choices, although cold meats were available. On a positive note, the hotel is near bars and restaurants, offering a vibrant atmosphere. Pricing was considered reasonable, but some felt areas of the room could have been cleaner upon arrival.
