Very friendly staff - warm welcome and fast check in. Called me to check when I'd be arriving. Very central location but quiet. Only issue is that there was a sstrange smell in the reception area which ws quite offputting and it's a bit run down.

This property is conveniently located in the city centre and is easy to access from the train station by foot or bus. The rooms and bathrooms are large, the only downfall is that there is no lift and the reception isn’t properly manned… you have to press a buzzer and a staff member from another hotel has to get into the building to serve you. I ended up waiting 10 to be served.

Great location, count with steep stairs as you get to your room. It was very hot in the room (in mid-April) and the AC control was unconveniently located at quite a distance from the bed area, around two corners and no remote control was provided. The amenities were basic,
