This is the first time I have booked a hotel using tripadvisor and was disappointed my experience did not match what others have found - a couple of things: we paid for a room upgrade which is in the renovated wharehouse part of the building - you get a larger room but little else and we found the room a... more

Booked this hotel as a result of reviews on this site. Purpose was for one night stay to attend concert at International Arena. Manged to find a good price online, cheaper than most other places. A bit worried on arrival as the area is being regenerated and very industrial. However the hotel was excellent, a converted warehouse with modern annex.... more

Excellent location to shops and attractions. Rooms large and very comfy. Only downside was that the safe didn't work and the bath tap came off in my hand! However, have no doubts that these points would have been sorted quickly if we'd bothered to report them Breakfast very dear but no problem as you are close to city centre more

This hotel has very high standards and is located inbetween the city centre and the bay area and you can reach both within 15 mins walk. Our room was very clean and breakfast was also good. more

(sorry estate agents) Check in friendly and quick. Clean comfortable room with efficient, controllable heating and good bathroom. Breakfast was good overall but presentation (even of the usual cooked buffet) was exceptional. Lunch... more

I organised a three night stay here for 103 people from around the country that belong to Inter-Varsity Clubs. The hotel offered extremely competitive group rates (£47 per person per night for twin / double rooms & £62 for single). This included breakfast and evening meal (the buffet we had on the first night was excellent : not a curled... more

We stayed in this hotel over christmas (xmas eve-boxing day) and while it was generally ok we weren't greatly impressed. Having been to many hotels I would describe this as 3* rather than 4*. We had to move rooms when we got there as people had been smoking in a non smoking room and it smelt really stale. In general... more
