We spent one night here (Sat 19th Jan) as part of a weekend break with National holidays. I was really worried having read previous reviews on this website, however my worries were unfounded.
We checked in smoothly at 2.0pm and were allocated room 413. This faced out over the front of the front of the hotel facing the Irish bar with the main dual carriageway just to the left. The room had obviously been refurbished recently as it l.was ike the one pictured on the website. Unfortunately the quality of the finish was poor and I feel that the rooms will soon start to look shabby, but this one is fine at the moment. The room was too warm and we opened the window which obviously let in the noise. Before we went to bed we closed the wooden shutters and this eradicated the problem.. The bed was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also quite new and toiletries are supplied along with plenty of clean towels.
The bonus for us was the mini fridge. It chilled my cava quite nicely!
We had dinner and breakfast as part of our package and both meals were perfectly fine. My choice for dinner was soup, chicken breast in tarragon sauce with vegetables and fresh fruit salad. My husband had salad, steak and kidney pudding with veg and gateaux. Other choices were salmon, beef and there were two vegetarian options. Breakfast was also good with plenty of choice including cereals. fresh fruit, yogurt, full English, toast, tea and coffee. Although it's not 'hote cuisine' all the food was perfectly acceptable and everyone we spoke to seemed to have enjoyed their meals.
I needed to get some writing paper from reception and it was given to me without any problem. This was my only contact with them other than check in/check out but they were friendly and efficient.
For a budget hotel in the city centre I found this a very good all round hotel. I wouldn't want to spend more than two or three days here but for a short break it fit the bill perfectly.
