The only problem I had was the step into the bathroom - I am elderly and it was a potential trip hazard. Also could you quote the price including the tax rather than adding it at the end? it was a bit of a shock.

The room was exactly as pictured. The room is definitely small but worked for 2 people. The location next to the train station is super convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The hotel is convenient for train station and easy access into town is good. It’s a beautiful city to visit. Hotel room was clean and comfortable. There was water running from the bathroom all night was annoying. But overall was a lovely hotel.
