10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is good, and I would definitely recommend it. At first, I noticed that the room was a little dated, but we slept very well. Everything was clean, and that is the most important thing to me. We could open the window, which was nice, and the room had a small kitchen (just in case!) and an extra sink. Location Is perfect. The team on the front desk was really friendly. Breakfast was good, and we loved having unlimited coffee in the lounge! Overall, we had a very pleasant stay!"
