Good but basic hotel. Rooms quite small and not much storage space. No facility to make a hot drink in the room. Not far from city centre but the area is not great. On a noisy road with Building work and scrubland across the road. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent, although the restaurant was very busy at the weekend. We struggled to find somewhere to sit.

The hotel was easy to find and parking next to hotel. The receptionist claimed that I had to pay for the room, which I denied. As I had a long I decided to pay. In the morning I raised question with receptionist and after she made further inquiries they agreed to refund the payment

Very clean room, but very small. Being a bigger person it was a little cramped for me. The shower especially was very small and, it was very easy to get water all over the place.

Das Hotel ist für den Preis absolut passabel. Die Zimmer waren sauber und modern, allerdings etwas klein und dunkel. Das Hotel ist eine sehr gute Option für ein bis zwei Nächte. Auch das Frühstück hatte ein gutes und großes Sortiment.

Clean and good looking hotel, good breakfast. Slow check in and bar, seems understaffed at night. Plus for rewarding customers for eco friendlyness when not wanting to change towels and clean rooms every day, but a minus for staff taking a large stack of napkins for wiping water off the floor, instead of a rag.
