I was very pleasantly surprised by the Hampton by Hilton!
Room - nicer than it appeared in photos. Had all the amenities that we required for our 2 night stay and was spacious enough for a short trip. There was a mini Smeg fridge in the room which was handy for storing drinks/food - we had requested a fridge in advance - I am unsure if the other rooms have fridges so it is worth checking in advance if you require this. The bed in our room was probably one of the worst quality hotel beds that we have ever had - we did manage to sleep, however it is just a poor quality bed. A member of staff informed us that they are in the process of changing the beds. Although the room was clean overall, an area which had been missed was under the bed (which we only discovered shortly before departure) - there were bottles left behind from previous guests. The bathroom was fine and clean and a reasonably powerful shower.
Area - hotel is well located and is within walking distance to the city centre (approx 20/25 mins).
Staff - extremely friendly and accommodating and made our stay extremely enjoyable - 5/5 for the staff!
Parking - hotel does not have its own parking, however there is a secure NCP close by, or on street parking.
Food - Breakfast was included the room rate, however we did not try it so cannot comment.
Gym - small, but clean and airy with some cardio machines and free weights.
Value for money - we attended for an event, so prices higher than normal.
