10/10

The property was centrally located which made it easy to get around. We stayed in room 702 which had two single beds in it. The room was clean and spacious enough for two people, beds were really comfy. The bathroom was very clean and had a lovely spacious shower. I phoned reception for an iron and board and a kind young man brought them up for me, and asked if their was anything else he could do for us. Breakfast in the morning was very nice, they had pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cereals and cooked items. We would definitely stay again.

The property was okay but there's a current construction happening which made the vicinity untidy. Also, the window from our room was small and the bed felt uneven which makes uncomfortable.
