Reviewed Jul 8, 2026Location is good, 4 minutes from the station and on the main road. The bathrooms were separate from toilets and the showers had additional space to change. The (free) luggage storage facility after check out was very useful. The reception is always manned and the staff were very helpful. The room is spacious and so are the corridors.
The lock on the door should be fixed, it was very hard to open. The beds could have curtains for privacy. Each bed could have a reading light. The room also could do with a fan. The toilet lids kept falling down when you sit down on the toilet. Sockets need to be fixed.

There are some showering facility where they don't have hooks to hang your towel or clothes. And the wi-fi is a little dodgy, I needed to certain spots for better signal. The power socket is in the corner of the room, its far away from all the beds. The toilet can be a mess at times but this is more of the other users rather than the staff and facility itself.
