My 9-year old daughter and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in October. We wanted an affordable but comfortable hotel not too far from the city centre (but not right in the city centre either) with a decent size pool and sauna.
We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and cosy feeling at the hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean, the pool facilities (included in the price) very very good (it's a y-club so there were people with membership cards there too, but it never got too crowded - we should know as we spent a lot of time there :-). The breakfast wasn't anything special, but then again we weren't able to compare it to another hotel breakfast in England so perhaps that was normal. We had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was very nice and good value.
The location of the hotel was perfect for us. It was secluded enough so that there wasn't ay noice from the outside (none from other hotel guests either).The first day we walked into the city center and it took us about 20 minutes as we stopped to take pictures etc. later we noticed that there was a free shuttle bus into the center about 100 m from the hotel. There were other means of transportation very close by too, but we were happy with these two.
All and all, we had a great stay and felt that the hotel offered great value for what we paid for it. Maybe not a 4 star hotel (although the pool facilities definitely were), but a very good 3 star hotel that I'd be happy to recommend and stay at another time.
