"We booked 1 double and 1 twin room. The Rooms are tiny. Just enough room for the bed and no where to store a suitcase. Barely enough room to walk past. The room with the twin beds had a clear stain on the carpet which clearly needed to be replaced. The hotel location is OK, 15min walk to city centre. ..."
