Hier kun je prima 1/ 2 nachtjes verblijven, heel aardig personeel, op loopafstand van het centrum.

8.0

Het personeel is uiterst vriendelijk, heel behulpzaam en kundig. Het ontbijt was een compleet lopend buffet met alles wat je ervan mag verwachten. En de locatie is heel dichtbij het centrum zodat je in tien minuten lopen alles kunt bezichtigen of winkelen.

Het is een hotel dat gedeeltelijk wat verouderd is, maar dat zijn ze nu aan het opknappen. En helaas was het uitzicht van de kamer niet mooi, een plat dak met allemaal ventilatiebuizen. Maar verder is het keurig schoon en de bedden zijn prima!

Very acceptable once we found it!!

8.0

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Well appointed room

Difficult to find as there were no signs! Obviously under some process of restoration but nothing current visible. Has a lot of potential but not fully operational at present.

Sehr schönes Hotel

7.0

Das Hotel hat eine gute Ausgangslage für Unternehmungen in der Stadt inkl. kostenlosem Parkplatz. Die Einrichtung ist sehr schön und besonders. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und bemüht. Das Frühstück war ausreichend und typisch Englisch.

Die Toilettenspülung hatte wenig Druck. Das Wasser im Waschbecken sowie in der Dusche/Badewanne floss sehr schlecht ab. Die Kaffeemaschine beim Frühstück gab lediglich schwarzen Kaffee aus, egal ob man Cappuccino oder Latte auswählte.

Very, very poor will not be returning to Best Western

1.0

Breakfast ok first day - non existent on second day

Room wasn’t as advertised, very poor quality for over £200 per night. Cleanliness awful, extractor fans running 24 hours and air con noisy. Useless response from staff on all issues.
