I found the staff very helpful. They assisted with directions and luggage storage. The on-site restaurant offered reasonable prices, and the food was delicious. The room decor was well-done. It created a comforting atmosphere. I appreciated the warm welcome and assistance with local transportation.
The room was slightly small. I could hear some music from the bar. It was noticeable until closing time, though not excessively loud.

The staff were very kind at check in. My room was clean, and a decent size. The hotel location is right on a main road from the airport to the city centre.

a tender stay at the heart
good sizetea kettlegreat foodrain shower
the room had a good size for a city hotel. it featured a kettle with tea and coffee, along with biscuits. i found an ironing board and a hair drier, very useful after travel. the pub downstairs had great food, i spent a lot of time there.
the rain shower made it difficult not to wet my hair when i did not want to. i tried to stand to the side, but i still got wet. a handheld option might help to avoid this.

this venue is well located, only a short distance from the airport. the city center is also easily accessible. public transport, including buses, are a short walk from the hotel.
