mixed feelings about my stay

convenient locationpoor lightingcramped room
the staff were friendly, and the location was quite convenient. (i especially appreciated the proximity to the bus stops.)
the lighting in the room was quite poor. i struggled to do makeup because of it. the room itself felt quite cramped, not ideal with luggage.

adequate location, but issues with the room

good locationsmall roomweak shower
the location was good, situated halfway between the main railway station and the city centre.
my room was quite small. the shower lacked power and took a long time to heat up (i waited several minutes each time). there was no blind in the bathroom, just a net curtain, which i found a bit odd.

Fabulous Stay Near the City Center

helpful staffclean roomsstreet traffic
The location worked GREAT. It was close to everything I needed. The staff was very kind and helpful (especially the evening reception team). I appreciated the clean rooms and well-stocked amenities.
The room faced the street and it was NOISY. I could hear a lot of street traffic.

The hotel provides car parking near the city center. This makes access simple. Live music from a nearby pub creates a lively atmosphere. This music is not heard in the rooms. The hotel also offers easy access to nearby cafes, bars, and pubs.
