Great location close to main street full of restaurants cafes etc. Room was very clean and spacious, super comfy bed. Given the size of the hotel, the rooms were also soundproofed so very quiet. Check in was quick with convenient pre checkin registration. The only downside was the WiFi unstable but that won't stop us from staying here again. It's fab

Carpet was Stained and light over hand basin broken, trivial but because the basin is outside the bathroom and in the main room the other lights needed to be on disturbing other guest. Ply area is great in the main hotel but no drinks allowed and no adult seating provided for parents to supervise their young children.
