A hotel close to the city centre

by aussiedave717

On the first night we were located in a room next to the Foyer, the lift and the public toilet. It was very noisy and we did not get a good night's sleep. The only ventilation was a window into the room next door. Therefore no ventilation if you wanted privacy.
The next night we were relocated to a better room on the First Floor. It was quieter and a better night's sleep was had.
Breakfast was ordinary.
One safety concern was that the Foyer was heated by an outdoor gas heater. This is a fire risk and also it can vent carbon monoxide into the hotel area. A definite no no.
WiFi was OK.

Comfy and Clean Overnight Stay

by Tim V

Positives: Nice warm and clean showers. The beds were comfortable and there was no noise to disturb us at night. Our room had a little TV screen with a desk and wardrobe. The location was good and central making it easy to walk everywhere. Staff were extremely polite and spoke English. The breakfast had a variety of food with options for everyone. This place is GREAT value for money, we highly recommend it.
Negatives: None.
