We stayed for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The front desk staff was polite and very helpful.Our room was clean and a good size, with a comfortable bed and strong Wi-Fi. Breakfast was simple with fresh pastries and coffee, but tasty. The location is central and close to town Centre.For the price, this hotel offers great value and We would stay here again.

A lovely welcome by the reception staff. No problems with the room and had a good breakfast. The only very small thing I noticed was some not very clean public areas, such as the stairs and the outside windows in the staircase (very dirty). Hokwever, they did not affect our stay. Slightly disappointed that we had to pay for hotel car parking. Very central location, handy for the city centre and easy to navigate to.

Room was clean, staff were polite and friendly, parking was a bit of a challenge as there was only one spot left when we arrived and it was tricky to access, WiFi was intermittent, and breakfast was good. So a mixed bag but generally good value for a stop over stay.
