    The breakfast options could be improved e.g. with fresh vegetables.

    This hotel is a perfect option to visit the WB Studios Harry Potter tour. In a few minutes walk you can reach the shuttle bus! Breakfast is good and you can also have a good dinner!

    Very little to complain about. Maybe an option of mushrooms at breakfast and a couple of snacks in the room with the tea/coffee stand, but overall we were very happy with our stay.

    Breakfast was a hot buffet and was very busy but food was plentiful and frequently replenished. The rooms were clean and comfortable and tissues, shampoo, shower gel and hand soap were provided. My room was near the train station which was loud but once I closed my window, it blocked out the noise completely.

    Vegetarian sausages, we're a little disappointing, not very tasty. Nothing you cannot do, but the noise from the train station, was quite loud.

    Location was ideal for train station, breakfast was very good, suiting all types.

    Felt the cleanliness could be better. Had to move room due to very unpleasant smell (room 501). Receptionist agreed when he came to investigate. Either bad damp or something had died in the air con unit. Moved to Room 702 - air con didn’t work. Waited hours for repair man who could only do a temporary fix which wasn’t great. Shower head had black mould on it. Areas around taps needed cleaned properly. There was blue mould on bread one morning too. Reported to staff, just said ‘sorry’ and to give her it.
