bus station railway station friendly staff small room missing cupboard busy road

The location proved very convenient. It was near the bus station. I also found a short walk took me to the railway station. There were many decent pubs nearby. I found the staff friendly. They checked me in on the top floor. I had a panoramic city view from there.

The room was small. There were no cupboards in it. I also noticed there was no kettle in the room. I found the nearby roads busy to cross. I had expected better because it wasn't exactly budget.

Great Value and Super Helpful Staff!

clean room helpful staff train station city center

The room was very clean when I arrived. The staff helped me book a taxi at 5 AM to catch my train, and this was a real help. I borrowed a kettle and a cup for tea, and that was convenient. It was a quick, seven-minute car ride to the train station, and a ten-minute walk to the city center.

I noticed there were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Dining
