convenient location and friendly service

helpful staff modern bathrooms

the staff were helpful and organised parking for me! the location allowed easy access to the city centre on foot. the room was surprisingly large, and i liked the nice, modern bathrooms.

the room lacked fresh water. i think providing complimentary water would improve the experience, especially after a long day of traveling.

Service

the team on site was very friendly and available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. check-ins were available at an early time, which i found especially helpful after an overnight flight. i am grateful for such attentiveness.

Location

the hotel is near a bus stop for the number sixteen bus, which comes directly from the airport. various buses go to the center of the city. a shop is also close, offering food and other extras.

adequate but basic

good location polite staff clean place narrow room few electronic ports uncomfortable bed

the location was good for getting around. staff were polite. the place was clean. i did appreciate that.

The room was very narrow. It was tiny, very hard to navigate around the room at times. there were only two electronic ports, under the desk. Both sockets had already been taken up by the tv and kettle plugs. the bed was very uncomfortable. You could hear a few loose springs in the mattress.
