“The room was compact but fine for a few days in the city. The bed was very comfy and there was a kettle with tea, coffee, sugar and milk. The hotel isn't central, but there are lots of good cafes nearby and the bus into town takes just 10 minutes. The receptionist was lovely and gave us tips on what to see and how to get there, and on the last day showed us the easiest way to the airport. We left happy.”
