Most of the hotel's rooms face outside, where there is a busy road, and therefore are quite noisy. Ask for a room at the back or bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. I had to change rooms halfway because of this, but the staff were very accommodating. This is an older hotel, but the up-side of this is that the rooms are big and have a small kitchenette. Everything was spotlessly clean. It is also an easy 4 stops to the centre, and the bus stop is just outside.
