great locationgood room sizedecent breakfastbad bedspoor quality sheetsmiddle dip

The location was great. It was close to many pubs, shops, and attractions. The room size was also good and the breakfast was decent (i liked the croissants).

The beds were the WORST beds i have ever slept in at a hotel. Both beds had dips in the middle. The sheets were poor quality and had pilling on them. I have never stayed at a hotel with such poor quality sheets (the worst experience).

This hotel has a great location. It is a short walk to the train and restaurants. The staff is very good and helpful. The breakfast was also great (I especially liked the fresh fruit).

My room wasn't very soundproof. I could hear a lot of what went on next door. Many lights were on in the room at night. One was a glow in the dark fire safety card.

The location was very convenient. It was in the city center near to main attractions (I was able to walk almost everywhere). The staff was helpful and friendly.

The room I stayed in was a bit small. There was also some noise from other rooms at night (maybe through the ventilation).
