perfect locationfriendly staffsmart tvwarm water
The location was just perfect, a short, lovely walk to the heart of the city. The staff greeted me with smiles, always ready to help with directions. My room included a smart TV, ideal for unwinding after my daily excursions. I found complimentary toiletries that added a touch of luxury to my routine.
The shower had little warm water. I would have loved to enjoy a relaxing hot bath.

wonderful experience

bus stopfront door accessgenerous portionsatisfying start
I found the bus stops to the city centre right outside. Buses came frequently, even late into the evening. i easily used my room key to access the front door upon my late return one night. breakfast included a generous portion of porridge. It was a satisfying start to my day. the coffee was AMAZING!!!
the shower cubicle proved somewhat challenging to use, especially when attempting to grip the flow control with wet hands.
