Hotel stay in the rocks

Hotel was OK it was suitable, needs updating, best thing about this place is where it was located. It is Century located to walk down to the train station restaurants, and in the heart of the rocks the hotel itself is nothing to write home about.

jeanette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Happy with my stay, would stay again.

We were only on an overnight stop, hotel was ideal for our needs, great location, staff were friendly and efficient.. We were able to check in 2 hours early, which was really appreciated) Room was clean, air con hummed a little, but no big deal, view was fantastic, it suited our needs. I would stay here again for a short term stopover, longer I would want more facilities and I’d like the lobby bar open on Sunday ( which was my check in day), miserable weather outside, I’d not leave the hotel, I would have stayed and watched the football, but local venues are also close by, so it’s not a big issue.

Staff make the hotel a pleasure

Staff were amazing. Helped reserve an uber for me and also accommodated a room change when street noise was a bit much to the quieter side street. Beds were comfortable but doubles were a bit small for 2 people. Bathrooms could do with updating but I can’t fault staff for their friendliness and helpfulness they were really great . Location is great very close to main bits
