Would never stay there again!
Pros:

It was very hot when we stayed here but there is no air-conditioning, not even a fridge for cold drinks! The room had two vertical fan units which made no difference in colloing the room at all, the room temperatures were absolutely intolerable to sleep in!
The lighting controls were quite different and impossible to work out. There was no way to increase the ventilation in the room, given its city location. An open window created a lot of city noise.
There was no where in the small bathroom to place anything on a shelf; the towel rail was behind the shower door, difficult to reach after a shower. Two very large chairs took up valuable space in the room which was in any case short of space to move around.
There is no lounge, bar or dining room in the hotel, For breakfast it was required to go to a very plush hotel next door, which was the only good thing about the hotel experience.
We were advised we had been uograded to the room we were in, goodness knows what the other room would have been like. We would NEVER stay there again for sure.

Pros:

Great location, just a few minutes' walk to the train station.
Can tell the hotel is relative new; the facilities are clean and tidy.

Cons:

The room is a bit small, and there isn't enough space to open two large suitcases.
It got very noisy outside the hotel starting at 7am due to ongoing construction. Even though the hotel provided earplugs, they didn't help much

Cons:

The place has no air conditioning and the room was extremely hot and had low water pressure with a tub shower. The gentleman working the front desk was very good and helped immensely with an otherwise poor experience.
