Great location for touring around. Clean facilities. Some street noise.
Pros:

Room had everything needed, well laid out. Easy to find, from train station, and close walk to everything. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The street noise is loud until shortly after 2am, as it is a very cenral location.

Perfect, Cosy & Central
Pros:

Fantastic location. Reading reviews moaning about noise is crazy, don't stay in the centre then? Lovely interior, nice bar downstairs. Comfy bed, nice shower. Perfect. Would stay again.

Cons:

Nothing. Liked it all.

Not for family stay
Pros:

The location was excellent, very close to prominent locations. Within walkable distance to railway location. Means to access different transports were good. Very good restaurants close by.

Cons:

For a family of 3, the room only had space for 3 beds and nothing else. it was so small that even our handbags could not be kept in. am not sure if the hotel rooms were made to accommodate families, its seemed more likely to accommodate one-night stand hotels.

Punto a favore : la posizione
Pros:

In verità, solo la posizione

Cons:

Piccolissima la stanza e non mi sembrava pulitissima. Diciamo che qualità-prezzo non ci siamo, secondo me un pò caro, mi aspettavo qualcosa in più.
