Girls weekend
Very friendly helpful staff, room was smaller than expected but was fine for what we needed. Only down side was the phone screen in the room kept turning on about every 30 mins or so in the night hence lighting up the whole room.
Breakfast excellent.

An excellent overnight city stay. Value for money.
Friendly welcome. Tidy well proportioned room. Some street noise but not enough to interfere with good comfortable nights sleep. Rooms away from street available. Nice clean bathroom with very efficient shower. Breakfast served to table arrived as order and good quality. Again staff curteous efficient and well presented. Will stay there again.

The hotel is centrally located, with an NCP car park across the road, the rooms were smartly decorated, clean, with quality linen and towels.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very tasty, with quality products.
Highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic choice if you want a budget option that doesn't feel like budget (who doesn't)?!
I had booked an alternative on the High Street, but cancelled and plumped instead for North Hill Hotel having read their review. I didn't eat there, but you'd be hard pushed for a better venue for the price. When I stay there again I'll be trying the bar out!
Thanks for a wonderful two night stay.

Wonderful stay with a nice team
Really lovely property. Friendly staff. Room was comfy and had aircon. Overall a 5 star stay. Would not hesitate to stay again. Great value too.
The only thing was, the King Room I stayed in was over the dining room, it was enclosed within the conservatory, which mean the lights from that space were directly in the same "space". Hard to explain but it meant the bedroom was really bright through all the windows. That room could really do with better fitting curtains and even black out blinds.
