Really good City Stay

central location friendly staff tasty food

The location proves quite central. It is close to the train station, it requires a brief walk to the city centre. The hotel restaurant stands out with its tasty food and varied evening menu. I also found the staff helpful and friendly.

I noticed very slight noise transmission from corridors late at night.

Acceptable stay, issues noticed

slow check-in dirty room

The check-in process was slow. Only one person was available at the desk. There was a queue. The room was not up to standards. I noticed dust, marks on the furniture, and a sticky shower tray. I also found curly wurlys on the bed and floor. It was disappointing.
