Having laundry service was a great feature as we were about 1/2 way through our trip and needed to wash some clothes. The kitchenette was great as well with the tools required to cook a meal.

The bed was comfortable, the laundry facilities were convenient and worked well, and the staff were very friendly. The room was in good condition, and the shower was hot with good pressure. Overall no complaints. The hotel was located in a quiet area - I had a room right above the main road on a Saturday night and had no issues with noise. It was very close to the main rail and bus station, easily walkable with a suitcase. The only thing I would warn is that there weren't any restaurants or bars nearby open past 9pm, so if you're looking for something central to night life this isn't it.

Really like the cleanliness of the room, it felt really fresh and sharp. Bathroom was in good condition and the washing machine and drier were perfect for us during our travels. Had a small power box that packed a big punch, with 4 USB ports and 3single phase power points. The bed was so comfortable, definitely a good sleep which I appreciated. The small kitchen area was spotless and had everything I needed.
