Nice kitchen equipped for food prep and enjoyed the fruit, pastries and tea/coffee facilities. The bairn loved the iron bru and the water in the room fridge was great and very thoughtful. Free parking. Staff at check in was very attentive and helpful. Bed was comfortable and heating of the room was ample. Nearby tram stop was also a bonus. Nice place for overnight stay. Would return.

Amazing. Fully stocked fridge and kitchen with food all complimentary. Great location right next to the tram line. Only lost a star because of the extremely thin walls meaning we could hear everything from the adjoining room... and I mean everything!

The room was exactly as it looked in the pictures. Very clean, and great conditions. Also, we had breakfast included and it was fantastic! The staff was also very, very kind. The only bad thing, was that when we got there, the room smelled a bit like cigarettes, but after some hours of the window open, it was fine. But definitely I would a 100% recommend this place!
