The room was basic but ok. It was located on the front and the noise from the passing trams was pretty constant so did not get the best sleep each night. The kitchen was old and the electric hob had seen better days and the drinking cups and glasses were not prperly cleaned. The Hotel was close to Marvel Stadium which is why we selected it.

Great place to stay

The place is quiet and clean. I love the extras at the dining room and bathroom condiments. Close to trams, shops. The kitchen could be improvised with dishcloth or scourer, better cooking equipment and decent knife. The location is ideal for public transportation and shops.
