Stayed for one night only and very close to the railway station. Great number of places to eat in the close vicinity if you don’t want to use the hotel restaurant. All in all a great stay.

Pros: clean room, decent linens, no carpet on bedroom floor, near train station, less expensive than most other hotels in area Cons: The immediate area is a little tired looking, common area of hotel is tiny and cramped, VERY basic, dull lighting in bedroom Overall: clean, basic, but certainly not impressive

Ive stayed in this hotel before and would definitely stay again. The roooms were fairly basic but were very clean and ideal for our requirements. Tea and coffee was available, the shower was good and the beds were comfortable but lacked a second pillow. The staff were very polite, helpful and friendly.
