The location was convenient. Eateries and shops were nearby, and the city center was within a short walk. The hotel was clean and well kept. Everything I needed was there, and the price was reasonable.

The room was quite small. Moving around was difficult. Only one person could comfortably move around the room at a time. The bathroom sink was small, and I bumped myself when bending over to wash.

I found the check-in process very simple and efficient. The location had plenty of shops and cafes nearby, which I found very convenient. The room's temperature was great. It had nice pillows and a warm duvet. I was impressed with the cleanliness. I seemed like I was in my own home.

The noise from the road was distracting. Double glazing is needed.
