The hotel location was great and quiet.
I was really disappointed. There were hairs on the bottom of both beds. I also found lots of crumbs on the chair. Cooked breakfast was not very hot. It cooled down quickly.

A comfortable stay

The bus stop outside provided easy access to public transport. I upgraded to a bigger bed. The staff allowed me to store baggage upon arrival.
The hotel has a very small bar. I found it a little disappointing, since there was neither music nor a lively atmosphere there.

I appreciated the convenient bus stop DIRECTLY outside. It made access to public transport easy. The hotel had modern facilities and cleanliness. An ice machine was available. The staff helped by upgrading us to a larger bed. I am grateful.
the handwash container in the bedroom was empty, which wasn't ideal. i asked reception to send some up, but it never arrived. The shower gel container was also empty, so my daughters could not shower. Basic toiletries should be standard.
