Fine for a night or a stopover as a solo traveller. I booked the room thinking breakfast would be available, only to find out in the morning that it’s only on weekends. Staff were nice and helpful. Pipes were a bit loud when neighbouring rooms using facilities.

Booked 2 rooms. Clean and good location. Door swollen and had to be pushed to close. My room had 1 teaspoon for 2 of us. My other guest in the other room had no teaspoons. Just small details that needs to taken care of. Value for money. I will stay there again

Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable There was nowhere to hang clothes, only one chair , no spoons or plates. In the morning when we left just after 8am, the office was closed and could not find a way out. If there had been a fire,cwe would not have known where to go, so all in all, not a great experience. We would not go there again
