Stylish Stay Near the Stadium

The hotel provided a microwave, fridge, and kettle. I also appreciated the crisp white sheets and quality toiletries. The bed was SUPER comfortable. The reception area was beautiful, showcasing comfortable seating. Complimentary drinks like teas, coffees, and hot chocolate were available.
I had booked a room WITH a stadium view, but I was given a room more suitable for disabled guests. The bathroom had an open space WITH a wet floor after showering. This created a potential slipping risk. The wash basin was also at a low level.

Really good Stay

helpful staffamazing locationunexpected noise
The hotel staff were very helpful. They moved us to a suite the next day after our initial room was not up to par. The upgraded suite had significantly more space. It particularly helped my disabled daughter, who uses crutches. The hotel location proved amazing and convenient. I will certainly return and recommend it.
During check-in, I encountered a horrendous noise emanating from a music venue across the road. This noise, I was informed, is typical on weekends. Earplugs were provided to mitigate the disturbance.

The hotel's location suited my needs perfectly. I attended a match at the stadium across the street. A microwave and decent-sized fridge were useful additions in my room. The nearby Tesco local provided convenient access to necessities. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They provided extra snacks after breakfast for runners. This was very appreciated and thoughtful. The room had a good shower and soft towels. I enjoyed coffee from the coffee machine at reception. Breakfast at the Gastro Bar was great as well..
