I found the room to be spacious. the bed was comfortable, it was good i could open windows, and the towels were big. the bar impressed me. it was long and very well stocked with flags of nations which i found a nice touch. location was excellent. A taxi ride from the station cost only £5 on a sunday.

i found the breakfast being served terribly late, at 9:00 am. i think they could do better because i've never seen breakfast served so late in a hotel, especially on work days. i think it should start at least at 7:00 am.
