The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"Booked a single room for one night, bed was comfy and had all the everything I needed for the night. Staff were really helpful, polite and accommodating. Cleanliness of the room wasn't great, and found that walls/doors were really thin so hard to sleep due to noise in corridor/stairs/other rooms. Apart from this no issues, great location and free parking - I feel the standard of the rooms is reflected in the price."
