This property is conveniently located in the city centre and is easy to access from the train station by foot or bus. The rooms and bathrooms are large, the only downfall is that there is no lift and the reception isn’t properly manned… you have to press a buzzer and a staff member from another hotel has to get into the building to serve you. I ended up waiting 10 to be served.

The property showed as a 4 star hotel but didn't deserve a star. Narrow 2 floor staircase to access registration which didn't have staff until you rang a bell and someone came from another property. Very small room. It seems like a firetrap. Old wood windows that only open a couple of inches. Stinky (urine) blocked exit door, undulating shower water pressure and temp

Simple but comfortable room. Staff were nice and room was clean. Great location in terms of being in the center of things but very loud outside at night due to nightlife. Bring ear plugs.
