Darlington stay

Good location but because it is central it is also noisy being able to hear the outside, so be prepared for street/town central noise. Greatful that a fan was already provided in the room. Very helpful staff and Easy to check in and out. A good stay overall.

Clean and comfortable but nothing special !

The hotel room was clean and tidy. The beds are extremely comfortable. The room itself was extremely small and having to get 2 lifts to your room is absolutely crazy in my opinion for a hotel of this size. Overall I believe the hotel is “not bad” but it’s certainly nothing special. If anything I believe the price paid for one night was a little steep all things considering.

City centre good hotel.

Hotel is situauted in an ideal location, right in the centre. Parking at the hotel is very limited with only 21 spaces available under the hotel. That is 21 spaces if everyone parked within the lines and didn't have a car that is as wide as 1 and a half spaces. The rooms are compact but ideal for a stopover and kept very clean while the bathroom was compact, the shower was good and it had a bath so my wife was happy.The breakfast was good and buffet style, so eat what you want. We only went to the bar once and it was very good, bar staff were polite and chatty and the seating was very comfortable. Overall the hotel is good with staff being very good with any requests and very polite.

Friendly staff, hotel is dated and being city centre, it is noisy from the bars and the church bell that rang continously. The breakfast option could be better with the presentation and options.

Kristina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overall tired and dated

Overall a tired hotel in need of refurbishment. The room wasn't properly cleaned as there was opened tea packets and stained cups in the room. Not cold drinking water in the room, only hot water from both taps. Had to head to reception to get a drink of water in the middle of the night. Tiny room, overly hot, bed was uncomfortable and dipped in the middle. Breakfast wasn't great either, no staff when we got there, so had to wait around. When we got in, they'd ran out of loads of food, no pasties, no beans, no bacon, no mushrooms etc ..
