Room and premises very clean. Practical accommodation. Excellent location. Downside is the unattended nature. Communication was poor: chat through app not answered and telephone call was to answer machine with no response. .

The room was clean and comfortable, if a little basic (my TV did not find a signal and the wardrobe was a little wobbly). It was warm and perfectly fine. Good entry system and great location. I will be back.
