It's not a place to come once more
If it wasn't deep night we would find another place to stay. They said at their site they had a car parking. But it's too small for such hotel. So we had to pay extra money for leaving your car at nearby parking. The curtains were VERY dusty.Brrrrrr! And the stuff is not helpfull at all.

Less then standard
From looking at the online images of this hotel it actually looked really nice and had that slick, contemporary feel to it... boooy was I wrong! On arrival everything seemed standard and looked like the hotel had had a cheap makeover. Once we checked in and made our way to our room I still had hope that room was going to be nice, however once I opened the door to the room I was gutted to see how very basic it actually was! The room itself was spacious and clean, however the curtains were dirty and the room just looked very tacky with a dodgy makeover of sky blue paint. The bed was uncomfortable and very quickly that you could hear the springs in the bed every time you moved. Once you would eventually fall asleep you would soon be woken up to the noise of trains passing by as the hotel is located right next a railway track. The shower was poor as it was not powerful and if the sink was in use it made things worse. Car parking is very limited and is on a first come first serve basis; luckily the hotel wasn’t at that time, what a surprise! Staff seemed friendly, however one of the managers seemed arrogant and unhelpful. The only good thing I would say about this hotel is that it is located about 5/10 minute’s walk to City Centre. In a nutshell this hotel is over-rated and should no way be a four star hotel!

It was nice for college students
Young people would get a kick out of this place - free breakfast, strange John Malcolvich (sp?) references, and a decent lounge, but the locals think it's a dive.
