Central Location and Great Breakfast

great careideal locationfresh coffeewater bottles
Staff carried our luggage with great care. I did not expect such help. The location is ideal. It is close to the train station and local transport. I found the breakfast excellent. Fresh coffee was always available. They gave us bottles of water. This was a rare and welcome touch.
The double room had two single beds pushed together. This was not very comfortable. The plumbing made sounds like water buckets filling. This occurred throughout the night.

The breakfast had many choices. A large full English breakfast would satisfy even the hungriest person. There were good vegetarian choices available at breakfast.

The staff were cute when I arrived. Breakfast had a good variety of options! The location is really close to the train station. All points of interest were within walking distance
The stairwell carpets looked dirty, which did not give a good first impression. I noticed some net curtains on the stairwell were filthy. I thought that the carpets were not vacuumed.
