“Always helpful.”
We were able to check in early and begin exploring early. Also at the end of stay we could store our luggage as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to help out.

“Great hotel, good location - would stay again”
The location was really good, we walked out of our room and were right next to the gates for the Soverign Hill hotel entrance. It was really clean and tidy, with a comfy bed and good sized fridge.

“Surprisingly better than expected”
Deceiving at the start but what a great place to stay. The bathroom and bedrooms were so clean and comfortable. Loved the hot water pressure in the shower. Away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything.
