The location was great, 5min walking to a train station. The property is in central location and can get noisy. Lovely staff Our room was clean but we have an inconvenient situation with the shower. When you take a shower the water goes out of the shower area.

Loved the view and parking. Only issue was me and my partner use C pap machines and had to unplug the beside lamps to be able to use them. A power board or extra power points behind the bed would be an advantage.

Great staff front desk. I booked a regular room. I am one leg amputee. Staff helped with accessible setup. Provided shower chair. I had my own suction grab bars. I think it worked for me because I had family members helping. Generally I suggest getting an accessible room.

Not for me

I didn't really like the room. There was no heating, no lock on door and no safe. The view was great but for the price I just didn't really like it. It was also very noisy all night with banging from the lift or the tumble tryer behind my room. Wouldn't stay again.
