United KingdomI liked the location, just walking distance to really everything. It was clean and quiet. I liked coffee for breakfast on 1st day (but not on the second day, so it depends who is preparing it). Spacious room with big bed and duvet. Staff friendly and helpful (there was a small problem with my booking). Coffee/tea facility in the room. The room temperature was right. Easy to set temperature in the shower.
United KingdomVery friendly staff. Excellent location and good value for money.
