Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very central, helpful staff but the carpets in some floors need washing and they had some weird smell.
Lovely hotel, had a microwave, fridge and sink which was a nice addition as most hotels don’t have that now.
Really nice spacious room, clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom.
Area was very quiet and walkable into the centre, about 15 minutes away from the central train station so quite a good location!
Hotel was conveniently located for my trip plans, parking is a nightmare. Staff are ok, they didn’t really offer necessary information you had to ask. Hotel was ok, bed was comfortable.
Staff were excellent and very friendly, we arrived well before the check in time but they were still able to accommodate us. Hotel was very clean and modern with a great bar area and relaxing seating areas. The bar is open 24hrs. Room was very clean, comfortable and modern. Very good secure parking plus street parking if required. Location is a short easy walk to the centre.
Rooms are rudimentary, but that is ok at the price. Cleanliness was good. The staff seemed not much familiar with the hospitality business. They were nice but appeared slightly disorganized. For a budget hotel quite ok.
