The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient with good transport links.
The room was quite small (definitely not ideal for longer stays). Housekeeping entered our room despite the "do not disturb" sign. They claimed it was a mistake, but it felt intrusive. there was a noticeable sewage smell in the bathroom, unpleasant.
