Not good value for money
Pros:

The location is excellent, very close to the historic centre, and the air conditioning worked well. The staff were also friendly and helpful

Cons:

The breakfast was poor, with a very limited selection, tasteless food, and coffee from the machine which didn’t taste good at all… The room was not good value for money—we’ve stayed in much nicer hotels for half the price. The toiletries were only half full on arrival, which felt like another example of cost-cutting.

The worst part was the fire alarm, which went off several times (at night too) and woke our seven-month-old baby. Reception told us it was being triggered by guests taking steamy showers. Fire alarm looked old, suggesting this is an ongoing issue that hasn’t been fixed.
