Staff at check were really personable and the check in process was quick and easy. The hotel is a few minutes walk from bars and restaurants and a supermarket. The room itself was ok but felt a little tired. There is a fridge, microwave and kettle. The bed however was awful, it was so soft and liteally disappears from under you when sit on it. Not comfortable at all. Ok for for price.

Very central.

Very basic but ideal for a quick stopover and somewhere to rest your head.
