The standard double room i had was disappointing. the soundproofing was poor. I heard street noise all night. the coffee provided in the room was of poor quality. i expect better from a hotel of this rating, and i didn't sleep well because of it.

The building is located right opposite the train station. Made it easy to find. the shops are very close. the hotel had a yesteryear opulent feel.
Staff were regularly absent in the bar. The bar was meant to be open 24 hrs . i was told they were 'redirected' to other areas. there was no staff available when i tried to get a drink.
