the room was clean, and spacious! it had everything i needed. the bathroom was a nice size, too. bus stops are right outside to get to the city center, and there are many restaurants around if you want to eat out!

The staircase had furniture on the landing and the handrail was wobbly making it difficult to negotiate with luggage..

I was disappointed by the condition of the room. The decor looked tired, and the mattress felt too thin. Accessing the window was difficult, and it did not lock properly. The shower felt cramped, and the food offered for the continental breakfast seemed to be of poor quality.
