small room street noise
the room size was smaller than expected. noise from the street and nearby pub was an issue. the large shower head made it impossible to avoid getting my hair wet, quite inconvenient. there was no lift, and i had to carry my luggage up a narrow staircase. i found this quite tiring after a long day of travel.

Fantastic Stay!

The location was super convenient. Bus stops were right nearby! They arranged free parking for me. That was a nice surprise. My room had a super clean bathroom and everything was clean, i liked it, the super nice team. The restaurant downstairs offered very tasty food. I really enjoyed dining there.
My room faced the main road, and it was a bit noisy due to traffic. but nothing to be bothered of, i sleep with earplugs!
