My stay was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel's location was very convenient, right next to the city centre, but the noise from the fire door in my room was quite bothersome. The room itself was small and in need of maintenance with a tiny, scruffy bathroom.

My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, right next to the station in the center of the city, making it very convenient. However, the rooms were quite outdated and in need of refurbishment. The service was friendly but lacked attentiveness to our concerns. The dining experience was disappointing, although the hotel offered some good amenities and facilities.
Rooms

The room on the third floor was dated, painted in a dull yellow which seemed to be the theme throughout the hotel. The lack of a phone charger and the overheating made the stay uncomfortable.
Service
