Big room, good location but abit dirty.
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location and the room was a good size. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

I booked two rooms and both had the incorrect bed configuration when i checked in. This was corrected after i notified staff. The rooms were dirty and hadnt been cleaned properly. The shower was disgusting and looked like it hadnt been cleaned at all. The tables looked like they had not been wiped down and there were finger marks on the wall.

Great location
Pros:

The location was great. Very close to the central train station. Compact room. Also great the resturant on level one with nightly deals.

Cons:

Just was a bit disappointed that there was no space for a small breakfast set up in the unit. Would have been great to have a small fridge and a few bowls etc.
