The location was really convenient (i loved being so central!). the staff were friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out. breakfast was also very nice. A great way to start the day.
the room was a bit scruffy outside. the paintwork needed some attention and it looked like it had been left to get in a mess. inside, the bathroom had some mould on the ceiling and the extractor fan. the shower water kept going from hot to cold, then turning itself off.
