The rooms were clean. New carpets and beds looked quite fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. Its location is also a great asset. I did miss having a kettle in the room for convenience. Tea and coffee were available in the reception area.

The bathroom felt really small. I also struggled a little with the shower because of the limited space. A slightly larger bathroom would enhance comfort.
