It's a very nicely decorated and furnished house with a roomy dining room and sitting room and a well- equipped kitchen. The bedroom was a reasonable size.. I didn't have the complimentary breakfast but it looked quite generous, if a little unimaginative (eg a pastry or croissant would have been more appetising!). Gaining entry was easy.
Parking wasn't available at the property and on street parking was impossibe. We had to park in a car park over twenty minutes walk away at a cost of nearly £10 overnight. This made it slightly less good value than I expected. The shower was rather slow and difficult to make hotter.

Basic breakfast, not all items as specified, no cereals, no juice to drink on either day.
Room 6, lovely room, but very cold, two large radiators that didn’t work, called the owners number, said can’t do nothing because it’s a Sunday and the maintenance would be out on Monday, no one came, very dissatisfied, very cold evenings, the rooms next to us and on the other side of the building all had there heating working fine. There was a small free standing heater that worked but was to small to heat the room and bathroom as it was a bigger room than others,very unprofessional in how this was handled.

this Hotel is unattended by staff, I really liked the video they sent prior to our arrival showing/ explaining how to get into the building. Inside , the communal areas were very clean and welcoming. We stayed in room 7 a twin bedroom with an ensuite and was to the front of the building it provided a black blind on the window. The ensuite although compact had everything we needed and provided basic toiletries. tea/coffee etc were provided including Breakfast items in our room and milk in the mini fridge. All areas of our bedroom were clean.The WIFi was excellent in all areas .The breakfast was to be taken down in the morning and self serve in the well equipped kitchen.there is parking onsite for 6 vehicles. The staff on call, were not in the building, but very prompt to answer any questions.this Hotel is fantastic value for money and in walking distance of the city center. Also has regular bus routes.
The hotel is located on a busy main road with double yellow lines. Parking is first come first served so not guaranteed. I personally found the mattress a bit soft. The walls in the accommodation are quite thin so noise from the traffic and also other guests can be heard until they settle down. We had taken our earplugs so it was at a minimum..

Easy to check in, lovely room with very comfortable bed and excellent en suite. Spotlessly clean and the breakfast items were a bonus considering the very reasonable price. No cereal to be seen but I don't eat it anyway! The kitchen and lounge were really great, far more than you would hope for at the price
I read the reviews prior to booking so it was no surprise that there was a lot of traffic noise in the room. My ground floor room was in very close proximity to a very busy road. I wish I had brought ear plugs because this is an excellent place to stay and I should have remembered.

I like that there were plenty of refreshments, bread, jam, cheese, cereals etc. Also there were rules so you know exactly what was expected from you (the customer) and what you can expect from them (the service). I like also the ensuite shower room with toilet. The communal sitting room and kitchen.
I didn't like how I struggled locking my door because the locked was difficult to use. Past 10am (noise curfew time) took me a while to lock it and this was making a little noise because of it; a near neighbor came out and complained wasn't very happy. I was glad we were about to resolve the issue.

Easy to find, good information about entry, lovely room, good facilities, comfortable bed and pillows, spotlessly clean bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Nice scented shower gel, towels good quality. Shared Kitchen and lounge beautifully fitted out and decorated. Ideal spot for us, a little out of the centre so quiet although its on a busy road we were at the back overlooking a bit of a stream/river. Easy to walk into the main area and venue- The Drill.
Not a fan if the rainfall shower head, would be better for me if they'd added a second " normal" shower head but managed for the 1 night. Also the shower head caused an issue for my fella who at 6ft( so average height, and average build), struggled a little in the cubicle

The Tennyson was very clean and my room had all I needed. The other guests observed to quiet times requested in the instructions for the stay. On the positive side, my radiator wasn’t working so an electric one was quickly provided.
I thought there was parking, but there are only a few spaces and none are allocated to the single room I was in. Lucky there was on street parking nearby and I managed to get a space. I’d been to a gig and only arrived back around midnight so was pretty tired. Other people might find the noise of the traffic outside an issue though.

Great having a fridge in the room, had everything I needed and brilliant having a lounge and kitchen. I loved the breakfast which had lots of elements and started the day perfectly
I stayed two nights but I wasn’t given breakfast for the second morning (nor was there any milk at all), but it was just a blip. The road was busy but didn’t keep me awake (and I was at the front)

I have stayed twice at Tennyson which indicates that I am happy with the accommodation.
Because contact with the accommodation had to be sent via Booking.com it led to communication problems. I rang rhe telephone number many times to get my security code on the key safe and was told 2 or 3 times that it had been sent. This was true but Booking.com didn 't send it via a new email they attached it to a 9 day old email where I didn't think to look. So I had anxious moments wondering if I would be able to get into the unstaffed accommodation. Then the penny dropped. I wasn't alone here. A couple I met at breakfast also had problems with communications

Clean, decent sized room, good communication about how to get in, and an immediate response when I had a question. plenty of supplies for a light breakfast and hot drinks, communal area was clean and light and modern too. Across from a big park/common for some fresh air or walkable/near bus route into city centre. I didn’t hear any noise from other occupants.
Location does mean some traffic noise but earplugs were provided. Instructions about parking could have been clearer. Some rooms have allocated numbered parking spaces, others don’t have a space. On street parking nearby was easy enough though.
