The location is terrific and the staff excellent. The issue is the construction site opposite which starts at 6:30am and continues all day. The noise & disruption really dampened the experience.

Staff were lovely, the room was adequate but there was very loud construction happening around the hotel that started early and finished around five. It was constant and not ideal. It would have been nice to be told before my arrival. Other than the construction, nice area and no other issues.

Do not stay here. There is a huge building site across the road which starts with a massive drill at 6.30am. The room is almost shaking. The hotel should advise potential customers before they part with their money. Instead, we were given a measly set of earplugs at check-in. What a joke.

Staff were friendly and responsive. When you are making a booking, the hotel should let people know about the noisy construction work that starts at 6.45am six days/ week. Room is basic for the price and there are limited facilities. TV doesn’t allow screen mirroring.
