Helt ok, luktet sterk parfyme.
Pros:

Det lå bra til.

Cons:

Vi fikk ett rom med ødelagt seng først, så vi måtte bytte rom.
Det var veldig harde senger og det var ekstremt dårlig luft på rommet selv med vinduet åpent og vifte.

Pros:

Very tidy, rooms were well finished and spacious. Excellent location and fantastic staff

Cons:

Windows are a little thin so the street noise outside can wake lighter sleepers but it's a hotel in a city so you have to expect that a little.

Good cheap accommodation central
Pros:

It's in good walking distance for venue we were attending

Cons:

The noise outside the hotel between midnight and 4am was very disruptive. People were shouting and screaming, which kept us awake for much of the night, and the windows did not provide much soundproofing.
This was not the hotel’s fault, as the noise came from outside, but I would strongly recommend requesting a room at the back of the hotel, away from the main road, if possible. The hotel is situated opposite the bakery that is open late and is also close to a nightclub. There is a taxi rank nearby, meaning there is a constant flow of people coming and going, particularly during the early hours of the morning.
Overall, if you are a light sleeper, it is definitely worth asking for a quieter room away from the front of the hotel. we will be back but ask for a better situated room.
