the staff were friendly. the room was spacious and the breakfast had a nice selection. i liked the location, it was easy to reach by tram and bus.
the wi-fi was intermittent. the glass in the window was badly cracked and held together with tape though the main issue was the low water pressure in the morning. the electric shower only ran cold for the first two days.

Really good Stay Near City Center

great breakfastfriendly staffmodern bathroom
The breakfast offered a wonderful choice of hot and cold items. Staff in the breakfast room were so friendly and helpful. My room included a modern bathroom. The location was really convenient. It was close to public transportation (a tram stop was just steps away!).
The soundproofing wasn't great, so I could hear noise from the hallway at times.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

easy accessideal locationlow pressuredripping flow
The location was ideal, near Haymarket station, offering easy access to transportation.
The bathroom water pressure was low. At times, it reminded me of the water was running out. It was just a dripping flow. This made using the bathroom facilities inconvenient, actually.
