Easy Access and Clean Room
easy access clean room comfortable beds
The communication before check in was very good. Access using codes to enter the hotel was easy. The room was very clean and beds are very comfortable. I stayed in a front facing, bright room of a good size. The en-suite bathroom was an acceptable size also.
The room did not feature a bathtub, it would have been a useful addition.
Location

The location is very central, and it has plenty cafes around the area. The hotel is near the city center but in a quiet and peaceful area. It made getting around very simple for my family.
