Be aware that the beds are very very firm so if you’re a side sleeper as 80% of the world is, you will need to up your stretching game the next day. Also, towels are a bit on the darker side of white, in dire need of replacement. Still, great value for the price. ##### Madeleine Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable hotel Comfortable hotel in a good location ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SHERYLEEN 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location is just walking distance to a lot of tourist attractions, restaurants and pub.
