    There were no hot drink making facilities in the room but I believe these could be obtained from the reception for a deposit. The hotel is right next to McDonalds so a hot drink could be obtained from there.

    Stayed for one night before sailing to the Isle of Wight, and chose this hotel as it was dog-friendly. The bottom line was that it's cheap and cheerful. Ok so there are no mod cons but you don't expect that at this price. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower hot and powerful and the room was clean.

    The pillow on the bed was like resting your head on concrete.

    The staff were excellent. Great that we could store our luggage until we were able to check in. The room was nice + clean. Tea and coffee facilities on site and breakfast for an extra charge too.

    The room was freezing and the heater took a long time to warm up. This is s we by I suggest better duvets.

    Location is good, room was adequate and clean. The bed could do with a heavier duvet.

    Very basic. Bed mattress was hard. Second bed is over the top of the double, and really unsuitable for an adult. Bathroom sink next to the bed. No air conditioning. Having the window open was very noisy from the generator sound and the car race meet in the next-door retail park carpark. No kettle in room. Smoke detector had been sealed off with a plastic bag.

    Location was actually very good. Very close to the train station and the city centre.

    • Classic Double Room

    A lot of noise outside at night due to what appeared to be street racers and the local McDonalds drive through. The insulation on the window did little to stop this noise.

    Room had all basic facilities you would expect for business travel, and at this price range. The staff were helpful and very friendly. Checkin and checkout were quick and hassle free. The wifi was good. Room was clean and the bed was made. The shower had good pressure and the water was warm. The room was the right temperature. The location is good if you are visiting the city for business or using the city's transport facilities. Carpark has CCTV.

    Cheap, suitable hotel if you're not planning to stay inside for the duration of your trip.

    Dissapointed that there were limited powerpoints available in the room with only one being available under the television. This made changing phones and devices difficult. Disappointed there wasn't a kettle for hot drinks or pot snacks - though one available for an extra cost.

    Value, it was the best price in the area for the event I was attending as I wasn't going to be in the room for most of my stay except for sleeping. Swift help and service from the staff for check in and queries. Car parking costs were reasonable.

    Nice and comfortable and familiar like last time, but with a few minor points.

    Shower not hot enough and too basic. A shower that is also hand-held would be better. Beds are also outdaded. No toiletbrush in toilet. Eggs were boiled too hard evry day. Breakfast price 8,50 is too high. 4 to 5 pounds per day would be more appropriate for this limited choice and this quality. Other than that totally fine. I'm not complaining, its just because you ask, I say what can be better.

    Location superb, location-price is the reason I choose IBIS Budget. Staff also good! Friendly, nice, helpful, they help you immediatly.

    Lobby needs to be updated and made more friendly, it's a dated and not the cleanest. There is a funny pizza thing on the front desk??

    It's a simple hotel with no airs or graces, the staff are friendly and help full, it's nice and clean in the bedrooms. The people who are preparing those rooms are working hard to do there best. I had a good nights sleep. Lots of places to eat near by and right by the cruise ship terminal !

    Not a lot of space and pretty basic (e.g. don't expect touches like USB ports), but then that's as it's advertised.

    This is a solid option which costs less than a Premier Inn or equivalent without being appreciably worse or less comfortable. There was a bonus radiator provided against the chilly weather, too, which was a nice touch.
