Great little find!
It was a last minute booking! Price was perfect and to be totally honest the only thing that was not great was how hot the room was as it was so hot outside! I would stay here again but in a bigger room!

Adequate
Good location for me. Slight smell in the bathroom, but other communal areas were equally slightly whiffy. Could do with some repainting here and there. Didn't get breakfast as not open until 8am.

Great hotel
We had a great stay at this hotel! The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Although our room wasn’t quite ready, they happily stored our bags so we could head out and explore—really appreciated that.
Check-in was quick and easy. We didn’t opt for breakfast, so can’t comment on that, but everything else was spot on. We booked a compact room—it was definitely on the smaller side, but perfect for what we needed. Clean, tidy, and the shower was lush.
They even had a fan in the room, which was a lifesaver since it did get quite hot. Overall, a great little hotel and I’d definitely stay here again!

Second time I’ve stayed here.
Rooms are a good size and clean with a decent size tv, bathroom and showers are good.
Staff friendly, love the 2pm check in time
Not a far walk from the trainstation which is handy if you have an early train the next day.

Only went for a one night break and it was very enjoyable.Immaculately clean hotel and room.
Only one slight negative,as we had a twin room their was only one office type chair and it would be nice to have another chair to relax on,there was plenty of room for one.
