Would stay again. Very helpful staff.
Pros:

Great location for the station.
Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Quiet despite being busy outside, our windows were obviously shut as it wasn’t warm weather. Rooms are air conditioned.

Cons:

Bathrooms are like pods. Door is noisy to open and close. Compact but functional.

Prima duurzaam hotel op een perfecte locatie.
Pros:

Dit hotel heeft echt aandacht voor duurzaamheid en dat zie je op meerdere plaatsen terug. Het is leuk dat je een voucher van 5 pond krijgt als ze de schoonmaak van de kamer een keer overslaan. Elke dag schoonmaken is tenslotte helemaal niet nodig en doe je thuis ook niet.

Cons:

Er ging iets mis met de betaling, waardoor ik aanvankelijk te veel betaalde. Gelukkig had ik dit door. Na een melding is dit gelijk rechtgezet. Let dus op of het bedrag klopt met het bedrag van de boeking.

as good quality and rather more convenient than I had expected
Pros:

check leaving luggage-in and check-out

Cons:

I was caught up in a fire alarm which didn't go so well for me but I was perhaps too slow to exit and felt that someone could have checked on me

Pros:

Good location. New facility

Cons:

The room was cold and the fan was very noisy so it was not possible to have it on during the night.
The room waa clean at the arrival, but the cleaning during the stay was superficial.
