Excellent Central Stay

central locationhelpful staffcoffee facilitiesdaily cleaning

I found the location very central. It was surprisingly quiet. The staff are helpful and speak good English. There is a cafe next to the hotel. I enjoyed the coffee and tea facilities available all day. Rooms got cleaned daily.

The receptionist sometimes left the reception unattended. This meant the main entrance door was closed.
