My room it wasn't great. i could hear noise from nearby pubs late at night. the bed it was also not good. It was far too soft and felt really cheap, i did not have much comfort for how much the stay cost.

great locationsmall roomdusty side
The location was great. Breakfast each morning was a bonus before a busy day.
The room was not good. It was too small for three people. There was nowhere to hang clothes or towels in either the room or the bathroom. This was a major inconvenience. the side tables were not cleaned very well. They were dusty. I expected better attention to detail.
