The room included all necessary facilities. I stayed for two nights and felt the value for money was excellent. The central location was perfect for my needs. The breakfast was AMAZING!!!

The single glazed window did little to block sound from the busy street. I heard a lot of noise. It affected my sleep.

the building had fine interiors with plenty of space. reception staff were friendly. they were very helpful and i could not ask for more. the location was great for accessing the station and exploring.

the single glazing allowed noise from the street below. double glazing would help reduce the sound. the hotel room seemed dated and customer service was lacking. i noted a lack of assistance when complaining.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

poor ventilationhigh noise

My room felt quite stuffy. The ventilation was not good. The provided fan helped a bit, but it did not solve the problem entirely. I was also concerned with the noise level outside, given how central the location is (I guess this is just a tradeoff).
