Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a fantastic selection of snacks. The staff provided excellent service, ensuring my comfort throughout my stay. The location was perfect, close to shops and in a safe area for a single traveler. The dining experience was great, especially for vegans. However, the price was a bit high for what was offered.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and featured a super comfortable bed, making my rest truly rejuvenating. The location was perfect, nestled in a very quiet neighborhood yet still close to shops in Hayes. The service, especially housekeeping, was top-notch, ensuring everything was pristine. However, the dining options were a bit limited for vegans like me, which was a downside. Overall, a great value for money.
