The location proved convenient. Many destinations were within a 20-minute walk. the bar at the reception was a definite plus. the staff was very friendly and always ready to assist.

The bed was uncomfortable. I didn't like the two single duvets on the double bed. the pillows were small. They resembled sofa cushions in size. i noticed hairs in the shower. The room sometimes had a pipe smell.
