"Very helpful staff when we arrived to drop our bags off before we could check in. When we came back and went to our room it was lovely opening the door and having the view straight out on to the balcony as the doors had been left open to the balcony, we did pay a bit extra for the balcony but well worth it for seeing the trees and hearing the fountain in the atrium whilst reading, having a cuppa etc. Very convenient for the tram and bus plenty of places to eat. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of choice. We ate in the pan Asian restaurant connected to the hotel food was excellent. We recommend and would go back"

My breakfast was nicely cooked and set me up for the day. The Welbeck is in a good location and was convenient for me when arriving by ferry in an evening from Liverpool. Many thanks to the staff for another enjoyable stay."
