Fabulous Hotel and Location

10.0

The staff welcomed us as soon as we walked in with eye contact and a big smile. Orchid was extremely helpful, polite and friendly but at all times professional. The room size was excellent and very clean and tidy. The bed was very very large and extremely comfortable. The hotel is close to many restaurants and a Tesco express is just next door. The Symphony Hall is a gentle 10 min walk along the canal from the hotel. Overall top marks and we would highly recommend.

A comfortable stay with an excellent breakfast

10.0

The location was excellent and very convenient, and the staff were attentive and responsible throughout my stay. The facilities were fairly simple, but everything I needed was available. What surprised me most was the breakfast. At first glance, it looked like a fairly standard hotel breakfast, with a full English selection, cold items, cheese and croissants. However, the attention to detail was exceptional. Even ten minutes before breakfast ended, the team was still replenishing the food, checking the temperature of the hash browns, and asking guests for feedback. The roasted tomatoes were cooked perfectly and clearly made with good-quality tomatoes rather than the cheapest option. The boiled eggs were also prepared beautifully, with properly soft yolks, which is quite difficult to achieve consistently when cooking in large quantities. I had hoped to thank the chef in person, but the breakfast service had already finished, so I would like to express my appreciation here. The breakfast made my stay especially enjoyable.
