Absolutely miserable stay. It felt like sleeping next to a train washroom. Breakfast was awful.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Bathrooms are - in effect - train washrooms i.e sealed plastic units that smell of chemicals. Absolutely hideous.

Ideal location for train station and will stay again at this hotel
Pros:

Pleasant staff, very clean, functional room for budget and excellent breakfast. As a lone female felt very safe.

Cons:

My only comment (not a complaint) would be the noise from the street food and bar below. Better glazing would help on that side of the hotel.

Great for short stays, avoid if you’re staying longer than 3 days and wouldn’t mind paying more.
Pros:

The location was perfect, and very close to the station, a decent walk to get to the Center. It is close to the taxi ranks at the station as well as the bus stops.

Cons:

The rooms lacked amenities in the bathroom. Everything else was of standard to the money paid, the room had a coffee machine with plenty of bottled water as well as a nice desk space.
