Robert United Kingdom

Fantastic quirky little hotel.Staff were beyond friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. i saw negative reviews about parking this wasn't an issue to us as we pulled straight into a space with no problem,but this may be a problem at busy times there are marked spaces for 16 cars, but there is plenty of parking nearby. I read some negative reviews about this hotel and worried about actually staying there. But i honestly could not fault it. the rooms were comfy , well equipped and clean would give the overall stay a 10 out of 10. and cant wait to book another stay there. see you again very soon verve hotel !

Audra United Kingdom

I think Its fair to say I wasn't expecting the Décor it was like a show room for TK MAXX in the Oriental section complete with Exotic Psychedelic Zebra pictures in the room. The parking is at the front of the hotel you have a choice of spaces where you can get out or be boxed in if your leaving later. Staff are very friendly at reception in the bar and restaurant. Choice of English or Thai Meals in evening. Excellent Breakfast cooked to order with choice of continental or Eggs Benedict. room was clean but cramped.

Mark United Kingdom

Everything else, especially the staff. The bar and restaurant area was really lovely. I had no trouble with parking either, that is very important for me.

Lorraine United States of America

Charming and clean little hotel. 10 minutes to downtown. Free parking. Good value for money ratio :)

Janos Hungary

I did not partake of breakfast, I am told by those that did it was excellent. The staff were attentive and friendly very helpful when I needed to book a further room quite late in the day. Every one in the party remarked what good value it was on our way home.

Kevin United Kingdom

I am always travelling up and down the country for work purposes and I must say this was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. Good value for money. Great location. Last but not the least I want to say how good the reception staff were especially gentleman Mr Amir. He went out of his way to provide the service. Truly a gem.

Sahir United Kingdom
