the location was acceptable, close to the station.
my room faced the communal kitchen, and the noise woke me. also, the front doors were often left open, it compromised security.

Excellent stay near the station
fantastic locationcomfortable bedgreat bathroom
The hotel location was fantastic, very close to the train station. The double room I booked had a comfortable bed. The bathroom had great facilities, I found this really convenient.
The room was off the communal kitchen so any noise in the kitchen woke me up.

Convenient and Clean Stay
great locationwalking distancetop notch bathroomspecial morning routine
I found the location excellent as it was close to the train station. This was easily within walking distance. The bathroom facilities in my double room were top notch. Having a kettle to brew beverages made my morning routine extra special!
Stairs are very narrow.
