Great stay for the price. The room was clean, amenities basic but they suit just fine. Strong enough Wi-Fi for me to take meetings, and check in/out were very easy. Free parking for all guests behind the hotel was perfect for what I needed. It’s in city centre and across from a club, but with earplugs I slept very well. Nearby shops, restaurants, and a great stay for exploring the region.

It was what you would expect from an Ibis hotel - satisfactory accommodation for a reasonable price. If you are driving there I suggest you investigate where the car park is located (behind the hotel off Cecil Street - and not straightforward to find). I didn't, tried to call the hotel twice for directions and the call wasn't answered.

Basic single bed room, medium sized, Hot water kettle, TV worked okay. The window has a safety cable and only opens a small amount. But, the room has a ceiling fan that blows air into the room. Check in and out was easy and fast. I didn't pay extra for the breakfast. It's a five minute walk from the train station.
