Staff was friendly. I arrived right as checkout was beginning but a room was available for me and I was checked in right away after a long international flight! Location is good for accessing tourist attractions and hotel was quiet.

Great location for the city centre. Rooms clean and comfortable. We were a family of four with two teenage children and we had a quad room which worked out well and cheaper than getting two rooms.
