My stay was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel's location was very convenient, right next to the city centre, but the noise from the fire door in my room was quite bothersome. The room itself was small and in need of maintenance with a tiny, scruffy bathroom.

My stay at the hotel was lovely! The room was clean and spacious, and I had the best night's sleep ever on the comfortable bed. The staff were fantastic, helpful, and very polite, making my stay special despite being short-staffed. The location was excellent for exploring the town and accessing amenities, but the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel is in a convenient location next to the train station and close to places to eat and drink. The rooms are spacious and generally quiet, despite some minor noise from connecting doors. The dining experience had some shortcomings but was worth the money spent. Overall, a good choice for a stay in the city center.

6.4/10

My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, right next to the station in the center of the city, making it very convenient. However, the rooms were quite outdated and in need of refurbishment. The service was friendly but lacked attentiveness to our concerns. The dining experience was disappointing, although the hotel offered some good amenities and facilities.

Rooms
5.0
The room on the third floor was dated, painted in a dull yellow which seemed to be the theme throughout the hotel. The lack of a phone charger and the overheating made the stay uncomfortable.
Service

Although the staff was friendly overall, they were not very responsive to our issues when we raised them quietly.
Location

The location right next to the station was very convenient for our needs, being in the center of the city. However, it was the only standout feature of the stay.
Dining

The dining experience was subpar, especially during a busy period. The lack of clean tables and understaffing let down an otherwise good experience.
