Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good
"Hôtel très bien situé, à deux pas de plusieurs petits restos, cafés et épiceries, tout en étant agréablement tranquille. Par contre, la chambre est vraiment très petite pour deux personnes. Avec deux valises, on se marche rapidement sur les pieds! Un mini-frigo aurait également été apprécié. Autre point négatif : la climatisation réglée sur une minuterie, ce qui était plutôt désagréable la nuit puisqu’il faisait chaud. Heureusement, nous y étions principalement pour dormir. Dans l’ensemble, nous avons trouvé le prix un peu élevé pour la chambre et les commodités offertes."

"We had an excellent stay. The room was superb and clean, the staff welcoming, happy and accommodating and the breakfast choice was superb. The barista made coffee every morning was most welcome. The well stocked ’ galley’ to make hot drinks was a lovely touch too. We had a really memorable stay, the staff were so lovely too."

Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane

8/10 Good
"The hotel was clean unfortunately there was no air conditioning however the room has 2 fans. We were at the front of the property and works on opposite building started at 7am and were very loud so no chance of a relaxing lie in. The hotel doesn’t hold a great varied menu we had 2 pizza’s which were quite doughy. The gym and pool were well worth a visit. Very friendly knowledgeable reception staff."

"Rooms were very nicely decorated and staff was helpful and friendly. Restaurant on premises was pricey so I did not eat there. Plenty of dining options nearby. Also very close to train and it was easy to walk to the main City Center from the hotel."

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location. Staff were very accommodating and super helpful. Even allowed me and my elderly mom to check in early after our long flight from Canada. Very much appreciated! Easy walk into main downtown area-15 minutes or so. Breakfast was buffet style but very good. Loads of food choices. AC! Very much appreciated as it was unusually hot when we were there. There was a taxi rank outside on the main road and usually had cabs waiting. Would definitely stay again."
