Hotel Reviews
"Good value hotel - bit far out of the city but great if you have students staying at Fallowfields. Good breakfast and newspaper included in the price."

"The directions to the hotel were fine, but we did get lost as some minor details were overlooked. We were a little unsure of where to park as there were adequate spaces in front of the hotel but also a gated car park too. The staff were excellent in a professional manner yet friendly and approachable. The hotel room itself was to a very high standard, was very comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. The general decor was lovely. The breakfast was brilliant, very well organised and a huge choice. The room service wasn't quite what we asked for, however."
