Perfect!
Pros:

I have been here twice now, and I will always book here; it's an easy taxi into the city centre for concerts, etc.

I always sleep well here too due to the comfy beds, and the showers are lovely. It's always super clean here and always up to standard.

The express check-out is also good when you are off in a hurry!

We had a brilliant stay! Thank you!

Cons:

Very good
Pros:

It was clean, tidy and modern, the staff were kind, polite and straightforward. overall worth the money i paid for it.

Cons:

The hotel itself doesnt have any downsides other than the location, it was convenient for me only because it was close to the venue i went to on the day however the surrounding area didnt have much to offer.

Rien à dire.
