Good for a quick stay
Pros: Spacious room. Impressive water pressure in the shower. Everything in great condition. Location is central. Good breakfast. Cons: The wall is paper-thin; you can hear everything in the hallway. Staff did everything they were supposed to, but they could be more friendly.

Clean and comfortable
Clean, comfortable hotel close to the railway station and town centre. I had a small room and the hotel were honest and said it was probably best suited to solo travellers or short stays. The room was big enough but the bathroom was tiny. Fine for solo travellers though. Very clean and comfortable.
