Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about Hillhouse from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the convenient location, with bus stops to the city centre and the Skylink bus to the airport just a short walk away, making travel easy; a day ticket for unlimited city travel on one bus company is very affordable. Rooms often include amenities such as a kettle with complimentary coffee and tea, and some have noted the availability of toiletries in the private bathrooms, which are typically located opposite the room. While generally appreciated, some guests have found the on-street parking to have limited hours. The presence of a desk, wardrobe space, and nearby shops like Sainsbury's and M&S add to the convenience.

Excellent Stay Near Public Transport

early bag drop cute staff clean room
I appreciated bringing my bag to the hotel before check-in. The staff were cute and helpful. My Single Room Bathroom was very clean, and it included linen and towels. The bus stops to the city center and airport were really close. The Skylink bus stop was only a couple minutes away.
The room was too basic and lacked expected extras. Only one small, thin towel was provided. The toilet paper was also cheap.
