central locationcute staffnarrow windowthick pillow

i found the location quite good, despite it was central, it was away from bustle. the staff was so cute, and the reception area had a snooker table and drinks from vending machines. there are restaurants nearby.

the room was not roomy and the view from a narrow window was on the roof of another house. the beds were comfy, they constantly slide apart and the pillows were thick. there was not house slippers or a dirty laundry bag.
