i liked the hotel location, near the train station. the room was quiet, even though it was above a busy bar. it was easy to walk around, i found the location very convenient. breakfast was fantastic too.
The room seemed shockingly shabby. The tv was not working. the bathroom sink was blocked, and the bedside lamp lacked a light bulb. i have stayed here before, but standards seemed to have slipped, which i noticed.
