convenient location friendly staff buffet breakfast weak shower dated bathroom room cleanliness

The location proved very convenient. It was close to the train station and within easy walking distance of the city center.. This made getting around quite simple. The staff acted very friendly and helpful at all times. The buffet breakfast offered a good selection, i found it was well-stocked each morning. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit.

The shower pressure was quite weak. The cleanliness of the room could have been better, i noticed some dust on surfaces.

lovely and helpful stay

great location friendly staff complementary fueling

the location was great, a short walk to the city center, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially at the front desk and in the restaurant. the team put on a complementary fueling station one morning. i would definitely consider returning.

The breakfast wasn't great with cold beans and sausages that were not good. The food also wasn't replenished quickly enough.

Breakfast had the usual options, though the sausages and beans were not the best. The restaurant also had sam working there and they were really great! i was grateful for the pasta and pizza party one night.
