a treasure found
sweet surprise helpful staff ideal location
The complimentary pantry was a sweet surprise. Coffee and snacks were always available (such a nice touch after a day exploring). i also appreciated the staff's help with restaurant recommendations, every place they suggested was a true delight. the location proved ideal, i found it easy to reach many landmarks with public transport. the bus stop near the hotel made travel seamless.
i noticed the decor in some areas looked slightly worn, however i understand a refurbishment is planned, i hope that helps

good location breakfast variety friendly staff broken television thin wall furniture dust
the location was good for seeing the sights. the breakfast had a lot of variety, i loved those sausages. staff was friendly when i arrived, and it was quick. i did find the room to be quiet, a major plus for me.

The hotel offered complimentary snacks and drinks. This pantry was a welcome amenity.
The cleanliness was not satisfactory. I found the mattress and pillows to be quite unpleasant. The noise level was also disruptive. Sounds from other guests were easily audible at night and in the mornings.
