This hotel is so convenient, within the middle of everything meaning it’s all walkable. Friendly and helpful staff. More than happy to book transport to the airport for us. There was some things broken in the room but still useable. Did not receive initially the room we booked but was offered to change the next day. Brilliant that we got complimentary hot drink in the cafe in the morning. Downfall was the cleaning staff were noisy in the morning as their store rooms were next door to our room. There was a couple of reception staff who did not greet and sat on their phones, however this does not go for all. Would definitely recommend!
