Very good value for money and good basic facilities. Central location with parking (£3 charge). Good customer services. If you are on a budget, this hotel is fine. Unfortunately you do hear the passing traffic as the windows are not sound proof. However, I can definitely recommend this hotel. But if you want some extra luxuries, look elsewhere, and obviously pay the higher price.

Rooms are small, not much place to keep your clothes in. Also don't expect good view from your window. Nevertheless, the staff are friendly and helpful. And rooms are being cleaned up properly every day. For the price I had to pay I would say it was good.

Really nice staff working here. Very welcoming. There is an extra charge for parking that you don't find out the amount of until you arrive. Would be handy if that was on the website when you are budgeting. Rooms are fine and clean. My heater was working that efficiently but staff did try there best to sort it out when I raised the issue. Would happily stay here again.

Last minute booking after our fly was cancelled and couldn't get a hotel closer to the airport. The staff was very polite and helpful even printing some documents for us The rooms are like a hospital room very basic with just a bed, tv and sidetable i wasn't expected much more for a budget hotel. I was slightly disappointed that no shampoo was provided and you had to buy a lot separately if you needed anything.

It's exactly what it says, a budget hotel. We stayed for a month, the room was comfortable and clean. The reception staff were very professional and helpful throughout our stay. Always greeting us with a friendly smile and great attitude. We even got a Christmas card from reception as we were there during the Christmas period. Close to retail shops within walking distance.

Ended up having to stay here for 3 weeks because it was the cheapest place near my new job to stay temporarily before I found a house to rent. I'm an awkward customer because I brought my dog with me, making my options very slim. Ibis charged £5 per night and I found that to be the cheapest about and very reasonable given I don't believe any hotel is under any obligation to allow animals and have to deal with the potential problems of accommodating them. The rooms were small but had everything you'd expect for what you pay. The real value was in the service - Fridges full off little bits of everything and snacks available to buy without having to go anywhere, and breakfast provided to-go. Connor was extremely friendly and greeted us every time we came and went! We had problems with the room key a few times but they were resolved immediately. Also I don't complain about noise but we ended up having to move rooms because of a constant banging - I know the type you'll find at budget hotels and I think it's unfair to complain at staff for things that are outside of their control. Overall, for the price we paid and service we received including permittance of a dog we are happy. Thanks!

It's basic, but it's clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and welcoming - and it doesn't cost very much. OK, so the wardrobe is a post protruding from the wall equipped with four coat hangers and there's no tea/coffee making facilities. There's no drawers, so clothes storage is compromised. However, it's on-suite and the shower is fine. The main plus point is that it costs the same as the small fleapit hotels that get horrible reviews for being dirty and having rude staff, but it is clean, comfortable and friendly.

So the hotel is cheap so the review is including it's 2 star hotel mark not 5 star. It was clean but very small . We had 1 double bed and a sofa for our 5 year old. And there was no space to walk in the room. There was no bathroom but shower compartment attached to it and sink in the room. Very limited but just fine for one max 2 nights.
