The staff members were helpful. My room included a smart television with streaming services available. The shower in my room was spacious, it was not a small cubicle. A fridge was available it contained water and canned drinks.

The window vinyl restricted views. I could not see outside clearly. Curtains were not ideal for blocking light. The sink in the bathroom was small.

The location was great. It was very close to the train station. The room included an en-suite shower. The staff were helpful and friendly.

The entrance was stuffy and uninviting. The initial contact did not feel cute. It seemed like I was interrupting the barman's fun with his friends.

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I especially liked the windows in the building (they were interesting!). The location was also lovely.

The breakfast was not included. The room was also very draughty, as both windows were broken and did not fully close.
