Great location and area, easy transport. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Parking is expensive and no charging points was a disappointment. Would return but the parking is a concern to take into consideration.

The main bed is too small for two people. It’s max 140x200cm so tough for two adults. We booked it as double room and had just one blanket. Staff was calm and provided the additional blanket on demand. The bar is well sorter. The lobby offers a nice place to stay a few hours for drinks or business.
