We stayed here one night for a visit to the two universities in the city. We had a family room - a double and bunk beds for three of us. It was pretty spacious. Clothes storage is limited - no drawers at all and just some hangers on a small rack but sufficient for one night. The bathroom has a frosted glass door which offers some privacy but not much. I suggest the hotel has the outside of the doors mirrored, glass is probably necessary because of the position of the shower and lack of a shower curtain. Bathroom and bedroom all very clean (some wear & tear on the bedside table but still, clean). Sufficient shelf space in the bathroom (rare) and fair trade tea & coffee supplied. But no bisucits.
The beds are very comfortable and we all had a good nights sleep. We were on the fifth floor overlooking the railway. The window is double glazed but I suppose that lower floors might have a problem with noise from the railway - other reviews have mentioned noise from revellers. Maybe triple glazed would help? Having supplies of earplugs at reception? Personally I never go away without my earplugs - I learnt that camping at Glastonbury! Anyway we heard no noise from revellers but it was a Tuesday night.
The staff were friendly and helpful - no problems there. We didn't book breakfast in advance (it's cheaper if you do) but booked it on arrival for convenience sake. Then we noticed a nearby pub which does good, cheap breakfasts with far more veggie choice than the hotel (hint for Sleeperz - mushrooms, hash browns) but there was plenty of fresh fruit, cereals and even soya milk which was great.
It's a very good location if you want to be near the train station. They will store your luggage for you if your train is in the evening. Great for a couple of nights.
Room Tip: Top floor might be better for a good night's sleep!
