Excellent Location and Comfortable Room

upgraded room bed comfort central location

My room had recently been upgraded. It was quite spacious. The bed offered really good comfort. The hotel's location is a definite highlight. I easily walked out to the heart of everything.

I found some noise due to the window isolation. The smell of smoke was present during the night. I had seen a sign prohibiting smoking.

loud music uncomfortable bed

The restaurant served a very good dinner.

I found the noise levels unacceptable. Music from the pub downstairs continued late and I could hear it clearly in my room. The bed was not really comfortable either. I did not sleep well.
