Convenient and Comfortable Stay

central location pay car park clean room worthwhile breakfast
I found the location to be quite central, just a short walk into the town center. The car park located right next to the building was a pay and display. My room included a sink even though I used a shared bathroom. I chose to pay for breakfast. It was a worthwhile addition to my stay.
The street outside the building was very noisy.
Location

The hotel benefits from its proximity to key areas, offering easy access. The town center is only a few minutes away. This makes exploring the area simple and convenient , especially those without a car.

The room was very clean. The bed was supremely comfortable. Tea and coffee facilities was provided. The price was an absolute bargain.
The woman who greeted me didn't look me in the eye. I felt I disturbed her TV show. It was not a nice first impression. I will get over it.

Acceptable stay near the centre

central location clean room noisy road broken screen
the location was VERY central. It was close to many local cafes and restaurants. The room was also clean. Everything I needed was available.
the road outside WAS noisy. The window worked to reduce the noise, but there was no ventilation. The shower screen was broken and required fixing.
