The room was lovely apart from the lighting which was terrible! Couldn’t read in bed as the light wasn’t close enough but too dim anyway. The rest of the room was too dark, I had to use the torch on my phone to see to read the coffee machine’s instructions. Bathroom light, however, was great, I should have read in there. It would have been nice just to have black coffee pods, only crème ones available but it was a nice touch to have water and milk in the fridge on the landing

I really enjoyed my one night stay here. The staff was extremely helpful and took great care of me. Nice room, good breakfast, and VERY close to the train station. If you are arriving from London you can exit on the platform you arrive on and save a few minutes walk. Lots of construction at the station itself but this did not cause any noise problems while I was there. Very nice stay!
