    Hairdryer in the room doesn’t work. We had to borrow from the reception. Could improve on the room’s cleanliness. No housekeeping every day.

    Nice and helpful receptionists, however rooms were a tad old although it seems like they recently refurbished the toilets.

    I did not find anything I didn't like about this hotel. I have a lot of experience in staying at City Centre Hotels and understand that there are constraints to running a Hotel in such places. I though this hotel dealt with it all very well and would like to stay there again when I get the chance.

    The room was a nice size for a city centre hotel and very clean. The bathroom and shower were all clean and modern. Breakfast was extra but very nice indeed and worth the price. The staff were all friendly and very pleasant. The location was perfect which is why I chose it in the first place.

    Room was filthy and incredibly hot. The room was not cleaned properly and the toilet was not even flushed after the previous guest!! We arrived late in the evening so we told the staff the next morning about finding poop in the toilet upon arrival but did not recieve an apology or any discount or anything really. Before we arrived we also recieved a scam message in the Booking app from this hotel, and when we told them they said it was not them but they did not apologise or send out any warnings.

    Breakfast was good, and some staff was friendly.

    No air conditioning, no breez with open windows but noise all night long from the roads that pass by the hotel and underneath the main train station. Impossible to sleep. The beds are just about twin size, the carpet old, the fridge extra tiny.

    The location is perfect, the central train station is within view and reach. You can also get to a nearby shopping area with restaurants and grocery stores.

    The most serious shortcoming on behalf of the hotel is cleanliness. Unfortunately hygiene is the number one priority when assessing hotels and it overrules all luxury and facilities. It is a relatively cheaper property but that makes for no excuse when it comes to hygiene. The room was not meticulously cleaned and had old toilet paper, a borderline clean floor, a dirty fridge and a questionably cleaned bathroom. Additionally, they forgot to provide us with 2 full body towels (2 person room) and instead gave us hand towels.

    Location was very nice right in the city centre and next to the Train Station.

    Although the room is rather small, still nice for three persons. Through the window, can see the trains into station. But not noisy. The breakfast is nice for a small hotel. The location is quite near to the main tratin station.
