Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Parking option ridiculous and feel let down by description of there being parking. Entrance on busy road with no stopping. Bed comfortable, evening food average, breakfast as you’d expect, the noise from air con was unexpected and unreasonable. It was like sleeping in a machine room. It was so noisey all night. I shall never return to an ibis, in fact I want my money back and it takes a lot to upset me this much. Awful
For a budget hotel, you got what you paid for at this hotel.
The person checking in before us had a problem so it meant we had to wait a while to check in - which is fine, these things happen, but it would have been nice if the member of staff had apologised for our wait when it got to our turn.
The rooms are quite tiny, but clean and looked like they had been newly decorated. The only thing that was a bit of a pain was that one side of the double bed was right up against the wall so it was awkward getting in and out of bed that side.
Location is good - walking distance of city centre and train station.
Very small pod type room but clean and everything you need. Very quiet but a bit hot. Loved the coworking space downstairs.

Average Hotel
It was okay. Nothing special at all. Arrived 14:20 and was told I needed to pay an extra £10 if i checked in before 15:00!!!! Room was available, staff were there milling about and chatting but I was expected to pay for being 40 minutes early.
We've stayed at this hotel many times. Good location, only 15-20 min walk to the train station. Friendly staff. The rooms have always been clean. Decent food selection at reasonable prices.
I think I’d been placed in a pet friendly room as there seemed to be claw marks all over the floor. The lift wasn't working and the wall in the shower room was crumbling
Hotel was clean throughout and had a very pleasant open-plan reception area with lounge, pool table, bar and snacks. Access to the rooms is quick and easy via the lifts. Our room would be great for a single traveller or younger couple, but not so much for older couples like us - the double bed next to the wall meant clambering in from the end for one of us, and the lack of table or chairs was understandable considering the small room but inconvenient nonetheless. Lack of waste bin or even teaspoons seemed a bit too budget. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and the shower was easy to access and use. Staff members were very pleasant and helpful.
There is no on--site parking and street parking nearby is horrendously expensive (for us!). NB: for disabled travellers there are three bays on Milton Street car park, a couple of hundred yards from the hotel, with free unlimited parking for blue badge holders.
The hotel advertises being dog friendly but didn’t mention the extra fee. We had to pay on entry. When we got to the room the bed was really uncomfortable and had a mattress topper which was slipping off and the actual mattress was dirty and had crumbs on.
Check-in process did not go off to a good start as I walked into my room and it hadn't been cleaned from the previous person staying (bed was unmade, used towels on the floor, coffee equipment looked used). However, the staff on reception sorted me out with a different room rapidly. Room is basic but was in good condition and worth the price paid. Bathroom was overall clean but there were a few old water marks up one of the walls that looked like it hadn't been given much attention during the clean. Overall a decent place to stay for the night in the city centre on a budget, and the staff were nice.
Room was small with the double bed against the wall so both of us had to get out of the same side ! Room was not serviced despite leaving the "please come in" notice on the door. When reported to reception we were told "I can give you the stuff to clean it yourself" !
