Our stay here was great. It was quiet, the room had been renovated, and for a busy location it was quite easy to get to. The only downside was the pillows were terrible and the parts of the room that hadnt been renovated were quite old and dirty. The really just need a deep clean. Mostly just the walls and doors so it was a little offputting, (and the door handle felt like it could almost fall off) but the everything else was fantastic. We stayed when at least half the rooms were full and again for the most part for the 2 nights we stayed, it was pretty quiet and we'd definitely stay again. Highly recommend and good value for money.
