Great location in the centre, although a little tucked away behind an ugly ncp car park. Room was comfortable, clean plenty of power sockets, TV was a good size. Beds very comfortable. Bathroom a good size and towels were a decent size. Reception, lobby and bar all clean, staff friendly. Nice having checkout at 12 (unlike those premier lodge places), and not needing to rush in the morning. Price was acceptable and competitive for a central location. The Highcroft rooftop car park was close by - few mins walk and definitely worth parking there to get a good rate on parking. Bizarre that the NCP didn't do a deal as its next door - its a ยฃ18 difference between the Highcroft car park once you have entered your reg at reception and the NCP for 24 hours.

If I was being super critical, there were no liners in the bins in the room, perhaps this is a sustainability thing as the number of rooms x the number of plastic bags would be significant but if you have just made a cup of tea, where do you put a wet tea bag? It was difficult to light the whole room in one - lots of lights with separate switches, would have been good to have had more downlights controlled by one switch instead of having to switch on each individually to get a good amount of light, which even then left some areas darker than others. Didn't affect us but if I was doing some work I would prefer a lot of light in the room. Also, aesthetically the corridor was totally grey - walls, doors and carpet - could have done with being a bit more colourful. Didn't affect our stay, just an observation.

I liked the room.

I didn't like that in the morning when I went for my breakfast a lady of the staff came pulling my plate and telling me I hadn't paid for my breakfast. She did it twice and felt really embarrassing in front of all the guests. I think it was rude and unprofessional when she hadn't even checked with reception that I had paid for my breakfast. Thank you

Really enjoyed my stay, staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was superb for our trip everything was in walking distance.

Advertised that there was free parking, that is not the case. You do get quite a good discount rate for the car park across the road, the receptionist was very helpful in explaining it to us.

Lovely room, breakfast and bed. Liked that the TV could be linked to my phone due to fast wifi. We were able to watch TV from my phone on the TV. Good facilities, mini bar was okay for soft drinks. Staff were all very friendly and made us feel safe during our stay.

Advised that we would be given a bath, we had a shower cubicle only. I paid more money to have a deluxe room with a view, the window was filthy so we could not see through the window well at all! Could have had a better selection on the mini bar.

Check-in was OK but after that the stay was marred by an inoperative aircon thermostat, a freezing cold room and an insouciant chap on the reception desk. After check-in my room thermostat was set to "ON" and 26C though it didn't seem that warm. Returning after dinner the room was freezing so I photographed the thermostat and went downstairs and showed it to the receptionist who smiled and said the setting 26C is too low you need to increase it to 30C and then it will be warm. Of course this was complete BS, I went to bed cold, I slept cold and woke up cold.

Room temperature, the idiot on the desk at 11pm.

Not a lot. I have been to a lot of hotels, I think this has the been the worst hotel for me. Won't go back there again.

The breakfast was nice apart from that nothing else was good. The duty manager at the time when we arrived wasn't helpful, there were 4 allocated parking spaces outside the hotel which he told us not to park there cos apparently it was only for drop off even though there was a car parked there already. We had to park in the ncp car park opposite pay ยฃ15 for the day. On top of that we got charged for double gin and tonic and a medium glass red wine ยฃ25.70 which i thought it was extortionate. The room was spacious but was dark not a lot of light in the room.

Friendly exceptionally helpful staff and superb breakfast at the price point.

The room was stark and only partly furnished. Great size room but the bed was lost. It could have easily taken a second chair. Bed cupboard desk with no chair. Small occasional table with only one chair. Bathroom dated and the toilet squeezed in next door o the bath. Very poorly designed, with very poor use of available space.
