My thoughts on the Railway Welcome, Kate was the first person I met and checked me in. The process was simple and warm. The bar was spotless with good attention to hygiene; Kate took time to make sure my check in was smooth and explained times for the breakfast sitting as I would miss this due to an early course. If I miss breakfast, they lay on a full continental, not my fist choice but a welcomed gesture and appreciated. I was surprised with the selection offered, fresh fruit, branded cereal, fresh milk, water, microwave, tea, coffee fantastic presentation.
The room: I opted for the cheapest but was surprised at the size condiments in shower room and size. Albeit near a railway line the sleep was 100%. The shower room had a vast complimentary (bits as a man) I didn’t use them) but nice to see.
The Bar and food: Again, so happy with the service of all staff, Kate was great as where the team (including the trainee) From arrival I was able to open a tab without presenting a debit card wonderful trust feeling. I ordered “fish & chips” this was fresh delivered fast on a warm plate attention was 100% as was the food, and a massive serving. The menu was extensive.
I stay in many low-cost establishments due to work; the Railway Taven is the best by far on all fronts. 100% recommended. Keep up the good work I will be coming back, great venue.
100% stay here again thank you so much.
