excellent locationgood restauranttiny bathroomlimited cupboard

the location was excellent it was easy to reach from the main train station there were many good restaurants nearby. the area was quiet i did not hear traffic or other guests.

the bathroom was tiny and cupboard space was limited it would only suit a short stay. there was no tea or coffee in the room having it in the room would have been preferable.
