Breakfast
The hotel The Wellington serves a full breakfast for free.
the location was very convenient for my needs i appreciated the pub downstairs for meals and drinks after a long day. breakfast was included and offered a good selection it prepared me well for each day. i also found complimentary drinks in the fridge a nice touch.
my room was close to the railway line and the noise was noticeable late at night and early in the morning. i suggest bringing earplugs to mitigate this. the room also lacked air conditioning and only had a small window ventilation was limited even with the provided fan.

the location was convenient, directly across from a major transport station.
the room was not clean, and i saw dust everywhere. the tv also did not work when i tried to use it. i asked for assistance, but the staff did not come to help me with the tv.
The pub downstairs provided a convenient option. My room was a good size and very clean. Breakfast included many choices and was excellent. I received a discount on drinks at the bar, a nice perk.
The railway noise was quite noticeable in my room. I had to use earplugs to sleep soundly.
