Pros:

The location and the bed was confortable.

Cons:

Unfortunately, I couldn't have breakfast because on weekends it starts at 8 a.m. and I had to leave before. The noises from the corridor—slamming doors and people walking, including next door, which I could perfectly hear—didn't allow me to sleep properly.

Pros:

Staff were friendly.. location perfect!

Cons:

Location and staff.. great.. the breakfast was a bit of a let down.. the continental was nice but the cooked food was oily.. hash brown just tasted of oil and was really greasy..the lady who was the waitress for breakfast was really nice.. but the food did not match unfortunately. We left our cooked breakfast and just filled up on the continental.

It was fit for purpose
Pros:

Brilliant location

Cons:

Room was hot, window could only be slightly opened and not enough air coming. With the window open, came the noise as well. Was difficult getting a good night sleep

Pros:

The location was great. 5-10 minutes walk from train station.

Cons:

There was a funny smell in the corridors. They were having maintenance work done on the stairs, so it could have been coming from there.
