De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Prime location steps from Festival Place shopping and the train station
- Reliable air conditioning (a rarity in UK budget hotels)
- Consistently praised staff who go the extra mile
Privire rapidă: It’s a standard-issue purple palace that delivers exactly what it promises: a good bed, a powerful shower, and zero surprises.
Evaluat de @Shelleylovestotravel: I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious my room was here! I think staying two nights might have scored me an upgrade. The staff were super helpful, and I loved being able to grab extra tea and coffee downstairs whenever I wanted. Solid choice for a work trip.
