The hotel is very close to the station and many dining options available nearby. Over the years I have stayed here many times, and the rooms are a decent size. The room I booked was very functional, but could be seen as dated, as there are no direct USB ports, but if you are travelling, you have your owm anyways. The staff was also very helpful. I had to borrow an iron and board, and they were able to hold our baggage after check out.

Nice hotel with lovely staff - decor was a bit dated but that was part of the charm. We loved the freebies trolley with tea, coffee, toothbrushes etc. I have allergies and it would have been nice to have the option of a non feather duvet and pillows, instead I got a blanket in a duvet cover and tiny square cushions which weren't as comfortable.

It was a totally fine business style hotel with a really great shower. The AC was very difficult to figure out for English-only speakers. But that’s our fault :)
