basic but adequate stay

comfy bed shower pressure

the location provided good access to transport links. my room was clean and the bed proved comfy. i also found the shower pressure adequate for a quick wash.

the room size was indeed small. i found it quite hard to move around with my luggage inside. i think that more space is important to improve guest comfort.

The room was clean. I appreciated the reasonable comfort of the room after a long day (the bed was firm!). The location is excellent, with easy access to public transport. The staff completed check-in quickly.
