private car parkmany stairsclear signage
The hotel provided parking at the back. It took us straight to their private car park and was off the main road.
i found too many stairs and corridors. finding the hotel was difficult because the front was covered. clear signage to the car park was absent. it is not a boutique hotel, contrary to what it calls itself.

Solid Stay Near the City Center

The breakfast provided a good start to the day with several options. The staff was helpful and gave useful information about the local area. My room offered a COMFORTABLE bed ensuring a good night's sleep. The location allows for an easy walk into the city center.
The parking area felt a bit cramped when the hotel was fully booked. I found it difficult to maneuver my vehicle at times.

i really liked that the hotel was just a short walk from the railway station! it made getting around so easy. the owner was super friendly and helpful, giving me great advice about the area. my room on the ground floor was clean and tidy too!
The instructions to access the car park were not very clear. It was hard to find in the dark, not obvious at all! and the car park was quite cramped. also, there wasn't enough milk in the room on arrival, a little annoying. the lock on one of the doors was erratic, it was irritating to deal with!
