Romantic getaway near Dean Village
train stationsurprise upgradewifi access
The location was convenient, close to Haymarket Train Station. I found the bus links to be very accessible. The proximity to Dean Village made it easy to explore a charming area (it seemed like a fairy tale!). The staff were lovely and accommodating, especially Fatima, who arranged a surprise upgrade for us.
I found that the wifi access required an extra fee for in-room usage. This detail was inconvenient. I think free access to the internet is essential nowadays for travelers.

The staff was very efficient and friendly! the room was clean! we had a twenty minute walk to the city. Buses and trams were about ten minutes away, parking was easy, and i didn't have breakfast. the room was decent for the price. I thought the hotel offered great value . amy, hannah, and fatima were so lovely!
