Clean, comfortable, and a great stay
Pros:

The room was clean, comfortable and a good size. They were really accommodating with holding our bags both pre check-in and post check-out, and prioritised our room to be ready slightly early.

Cons:

The property is on a busy junction, which might be difficult for light sleepers.

Aufgrund der tollen Lage u. dem insgesamt guten Service würden wir wieder hier buchen!
Pros:

Wir konnten schon früher einchecken! Sehr gute Lage, bequemes Kingsize Bett, alles sauber! Man konnte im Pub auch essen, meist Hamburger, aber auch anderes, schmeckte gut! Frühstück light war o.k.

Cons:

Kapselmaschine im Frühstücksraum war am ersten Tag nicht funktionsfähig, weil Abtropfwasserbehälter überlief! Etwas mehr Platz im Frühstücksraum alias Bibliothek wäre schön!
