the location was very central, offering easy access to many places. my room included tea and coffee making facilities (a nice touch, i thought). the high-pressure shower was certainly a highlight.
the hallways were a bit noisy at times.

Improved Stay Experience

great locationmodern roomclean premise
i had not stayed here for a couple of years and i was glad to see improvements. the rooms looked a bit more modern now and it really made a difference. the hotel looked cleaner and tidier than before.. the location has always been a great selling point for me, i love being close to everything.
I noticed the room's lock was a bit temperamental. It didn't always catch properly, a minor concern.

my double room featured a comfortable bed and basic amenities. the sheets were clean and the room was reasonably quiet, even though it faced a busy street. the provided desk fan was also useful.
