In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths

- Friendly and efficient staff — Guests repeatedly praise the receptionist and kitchen staff for being helpful and excellent. This personal touch stands out among budget properties.
- Good value for money — With an average rating of 7/10 and a from price of £192, guests find it clean, comfortable, and worth the cost, especially given the free parking.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Paid Wi-Fi in rooms — Unlike many hotels that include Wi-Fi, Solrand charges a fee for in-room internet. Factor this into your budget if you need connectivity.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, so if you arrive later you may need to arrange alternative plans. Check-out is between 01:00 and 10:00.
- 2-star basics — The property is rated 2 stars, so expect straightforward rooms and limited amenities—no fitness center or pool. It offers the essentials rather than luxury.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere. The hotel does not accept animals.
- Mixed breakfast timing — Breakfast is sometimes served later than expected—one guest mentioned it started at 10:20. This may not suit early risers or those with tight schedules.
