Only stayed one night but the room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Didn't use the bar or restaurant so cannot comment on those, but as an alternative to a traditional hotel, this "Management Development Centre" was perfect for me.

Tremendous value for money. The rooms are well equipped, the staff are helpful and friendly, and the breakfast is excellent. My only observation is that the swimming pool and leisure facilities are a little bit tired, and they’re probably due for an upgrade in the next year or two.

The room was comfortable and clean, although spiders and cob webs on ceiling so I had to kill the 3 spiders before I could relax. Staff polite, friendly and helpful. Breakfast has a good choice.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This was a last-minute booking as we ended up staying the night after this Diaspora Calling at the Super Bowl. From the moment we arrived the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much effort. It’s not a luxury luxury hotel but it certainly has all the amenities needed for a stay. Taxis varied from 10 pound to the coach station, to 15 pound to the train station and around 10 pound again to the Super Bowl. I managed to use the gym throughout my stay each time it was quiet. It’s not a big gym, but it’s enough with weights and some cardio machines. The pool and sauna were clean and easily accessible - with towels available. It had everything that was needed. Would definitely recommend somewhere for a stop over, festival stay or corporate on the university campus
