Excellent value and short walk to centre.Friendly and helpful staff.Clean room with ensuite shower and separate toilet.Pub and shop close by.Can recommend to anyone on a budget but still needs to be close to city center and also have somewhere clean and fairly comfortable to sleep.

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst on a training course in the city centre. After my previous stay in the Premier Inn for the previous module of the course this was a bit of a disappointment. I was initially a bit depressed by the sparse, unfriendly room, however actually found it quite comfortable. 8/10 in the cleanliness steaks - a... More

Stayed with friends for a night out from London. Cheap, cheerful hotel. Friendly staff. The door staff where a bit off putting and more like thugs but just ignore them. Room could have been cleaner and the noise from other rooms a bit quieter, if you want a quiet hotel this is not the place on a Friday or Saturday... More

Struggling up to the fourth floor with heavy luggage is not a good start to the night. Usual bleak interior that we expect from Ibis and the like, Feltham Young Offenders stylee, but for £65 not a great deal, especially with the unexpected exercise! Booked late though, beggars can't be choosers.
