"Brilliant location. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was just OK. Bed was comfy but no bedside table, the decor was austere and sparse. Chipped walls. Also, no cleaning or made up beds are offered during our stay, which I would have expected for the price. Breakfast was quite poor ..."
