mixed experience at the hotel

dust accumulationuncomfortable gap
i found the room's cleanliness lacking dust had gathered along the skirting boards. the double room turned out to be two single beds pushed together this created an uncomfortable gap i kept rolling into during the night. i doubt my concerns will be addressed

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is great and close to public transport. The breakfast offered a good selection.
The room faced a busy street, so noise was an issue at night. The windows were old and did not block sound well. The room's decor seemed somewhat outdated.
