Too pricey for a very small room.
Pros:

Location was good and room was clean and tidy

Cons:

Small room, but to be fair that was my fault when booking through booking.com as i always do, i overlooked that the room size was 22m. Too pricey for a very basic room. Photos certainly looked better than it was

It worked for us.
Pros:

Used the adjoining restaurant for breakfast and two dinners. The food was excellent. Room was quiet, comfy and clean. But cold for our first night. It was fixed for the second night. Paid on-site parking but probably could have parked on the street. 24 hr reception was great as we checked in at around 3am.

Cons:

I really dislike the electronic pads some hotels now use for check-in.
