This brand new hotel is only on its second week of opening and this was their first real big test. We were the first couple to ever stay in our room.
We were located on the top floor in a standard double room.

The hotel is located right in the city centre and is a very short walk from the train station, also very conveniently located to get to almost anywhere; attractions, shopping malls, bars, restaurants, the quayside.

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly staff who make check in as easy as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for them and wasn’t throughout our entire stay. They are also eager to receive feedback and suggestions there and then as to how they can improve their service. They are more than happy to accommodate any special requests.

The hotel rates cover room only but there have breakfasts available at £6.95 and also a reasonably varied and reasonably priced all day food menu...we skipped breakfast but did eat a couple of times at the hotel over the weekend, little bar snacks etc.

The hotel also has its own bar. Most people tended to use this to either start or end the evening’s festivities. Bar prices are excellent.

Our room was tastefully furnished although some might say the standard room is a little small, lack of storage space more than anything. The bathroom is a complete wet room but is small and compact. Again, this was not an issue for us.

There were little things as I don’t think the hotel is fully finished as to how they want it to be, no soap in the ladies loo for example. But the staff are more than happy to jump on anything pointed out to them.

The only entertainment in the hotel was from the gang of lasses from Barnsley. Very amusing to watch!

Check out is by 11am but even then, they have a storage area for your luggage which they label up for you to collect whenever you do actually leave the city. The area is secure as well.

We will definitely be returning here as soon as possible.
