It was clean, the staff was excellent, plus the service was good. The room was generous-sized and uniquely decorated with comfy bed and my experience was good. The location was absolutely perfect and excellent to the nearest tram stop, next to a bus stop. Thoroughly enjoyed that food was appetising.
They asked to pay gbp 7 per 24 hours to get access to the net, even so Wi-Fi was kind of slow.
