8/10 Good
"Located within walking distance to central train station and St Huberts shops which was convenient. Staff were friendly and room was comfortable and quiet. We forgot our converter plug, and staff were helpful in loaning us one to use which was appreciated. Bathroom was clean, and towels fluffy. Would stay here again"
