Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We had room 224 it had shared access with room 223. We could hear doors banging loudly throughout night & loud noisy sounds from appliances throughout night. On top the bathroom had a glass window with no blinds & a glass sliding door that opens into bedroom through which light from street lights & adjacent buildings entered the room all night & a long window over the beds had only a roller blind which didn’t cover the whole window & made the room well lit. It was so hard to sleep with light & noise entering room from all around.

Lovely quiet stay in a great room

We stayed here for one night and found it to be overall excellent in every detail, from check-in to the condition of the room. Expect a comfortable bed, a quiet room with a pleasant outlook, a prisitine bathroom and a whisper-quiet aircon. Friendly staff on reception and check-in was quick. Free parking, and right next door to a hotel for drinks/dinner. Would definitely stay again.
