Convenient and Clean Stay

convenient locationhelpful stafflarge towel

The location is very convenient near the train station. Staff were very helpful and lovely, I felt welcome. The cleaning was super and the bed was comfy.

I found only large towels with no smaller options available. It made hair wrapping after a shower difficult, needing to use another towel. I also noted the absence of a fridge in the room.

The double sweetroom featured a double bed and efficient space. The bathroom had a standard shower with good pressure. There was a small desk area suitable for working with a laptop. A wardrobe provided adequate storage space.

the location was great right next to the station. lots of bars and cafes are nearby and the area had a really nice vibe. the hotel provided a good atmosphere with a cafe-style reception and bar area. i liked the design of the rooms.

the check-in desk seemed a bit small, and there weren't always enough staff. i could hear some noise from other bathrooms and people walking by. some shelving in the shower would be helpful.
