Excellent location for the price
The hotel is a stone's throw away from the town center, with lot of options for food, entertainment and transport. The property seems old, which is perhaps why the cleanliness of the room left something to be desired. If you can look past that, excellent choice for the price.

Very rude staff. No change of towels after 4 night stay. No lift and had to pay for staff member to take my case upstairs. Charge for left luggage (after 10am). No kettle in room (again an extra charge). 1st breakfast started at 7.30 and not a minute earlier! Would not stay again.

Very centrally situated. In a pedestran street, so no traffic abount. Bad point is there is no lift. So you have to lug your cases up two or three floors to get to your room.

The radiator was on full blast when I walked into the room when it was 25 Degress outside and when I switched it off, the radiator constantly made a hissing sound throughout the night so I didn't sleep well. Also, the paperwork states check out is 11am however Reception told me it was 10am

Location is the key to this hotel. It’s literally in the centre of the city and we were able to walk to all the main sites and shopping areas without any need for using taxis or public transport. If your after a cheap place to stay in a premium location then the hotel is perfect. The breakfast is as expected with a selection of pastries, cereals, cooked eggs and sausages tea/coffee etc nothing fancy but we found it enough every day. I couldn’t fault the cleaning in the room although the room itself is a little basic and whilst I get that it’s not expensive it wouldn’t take a lot to put some complimentary tea/coffee or upgrade the lights a little in the rooms just to raise the standard. The staff were all really helpful, the guy at breakfast was always very polite and works away to keep everything stocked, the desk staff were good too, we had a couple of little requests that we made whilst we were there and they were genuinely helpful and looked after us. To sum up, if you want somewhere ideally located but don’t want to pay the premium prices this place is perfect, it’s a little simple but you get what you pay for....

The location is excellent and the price very reasonable. The staff were lovely and helpful. The only thing that would really help would be a general upgrade - there were stains in the bathroom, the toilet seat was not well-attached so slid around, there was a plug in the centre of the headboard(!!) and I have not stayed in a hotel where the room locks with an actual key since 2003... Don't get me wrong, I would very much recommend the hotel and I am sure I will be back in a few months... it is just showing minor signs of age and it would improve the hotel no end if they were fixed.

I can deal with it for the price
Upon arrival, the staff was very rude and refused to let us check-in 15 minutes before the 3pm time even though the room was ready. The lady made us wait in the lobby while she sat at the desk and did nothing for 15 minutes. Then gave us attitude while checking in. The drapes were too small for the windows and did not provide for full privacy at night. Despite the unpleasant staff and the fact that it is outdated, the location is perfect, situated close to many attractions.
