"The hotel is in a great location, rooms and all areas are spotless, bed super comfy and shower fantastic BUT on site parking is limited and costs £20 a day. Parking in the roodee across the road is £9.50/24 hrs or if its a weekend, parking at the courthouse opp is free. breakfast was terrible-.theres a £10 charge for a ,"continental breakfast" however, this just comprised cornflakes, coco pops,rice crispies and a large bowl of fruit. Guests then select 1 item from 2 menus(the 1st being either porridge, granola or a croissant;second menu is a choice of fruit juices/smoothies. I chose porridge but it was only just warm and there wasnt alot(I was running the marathon that day so had to load up on cornflakes). There was no toaster as is standard pretty much everywhere else and if you wanted any cooked items, there was an additional charge. To top it off, the tea was undrinkable(I mentioned the last point to a staff member and they commented that I wasnt the first to say that but that was the brand used across the hotel group...not helpful). In the end, we bought our own tea bags for the room and had remaining breakfasts at local independent cafes which were spot on(can especially recommend the cinderbox)."

  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and ease of access to the sights you plan to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
