The location is faultless, it’s very convenient to get to the hotel on foot from the station and it’s very central however the room was very dark even when all the lights were on and it was hot as balls. We had to have a mini fan running all night as well as a window being open because you can’t change the climate control in the room. We think it may just be our room potentially as it was near the plumbing room which also was hot when you walked past. I would stay in the hotel again if those issues were fixed or potentially just in a different room that wasn’t hotter then the depths of hell.

One night stay

The checkin process was not smooth, due to a fault with Expedia, but the staff were really helpful and managed to sort it out, given some time. The room and bathroom were clean and it had everything needed for a nights sleep. Bathroom is a bit small. Thr bed is comfortable enough, although you definitely can't compare to the more luxury hotels. The hotel is located really centrally which makes it a great place to stay
