The location was convenient, the restaurant excellent, and the staff very helpful. The room was a little cramped and there were some mechanical sounds keeping us awake at night.

The Dr Syntax team were all friendly and very helpful. The room was spotless upon entry and when service was requested it was completed to the same standard. Very enjoyable stay for someone on a budget. The food was excellent and not overpriced.

Was really pleasantly surprised at how good the room was for a pub room. The bathroom was very modern, the room was comfortable and the staff were amazing. Would definitely stay again. My only one thing was there was what sounded like a fan that ran outside somewhere overnight so for light sleepers it may irriate light sleepers, but it didn't bother me.

Good for couple, not family. Very good location. Clean rooms but one of our rooms (the biggest one) got smoke smell. Put the room make up on the handle but just provided new towels, didn’t tidy up. Shower is too high and water splashed out since no door or curtain for the shower area.
