The genuine warmth of the staff, particularly Jackie and Kim/Kate, made a lasting impression, especially in their attentive care for guests with specific needs. Its convenient bus route access to the city centre, coupled with a quiet atmosphere despite being above a pub, makes for a remarkably sensible stay.”
