The hotel rooms were very clean and modern, immaculate, and perfect for everyone. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again for sure, it's 5 stars for such a great place. However, the room felt a little cramped with not much space around the bed and was located away from the corridor fire exit door.

My room had a dual aspect, making it light and airy. It was clean and warm, although the radiator was on full without my knowing, leading to overheating. The space was a bit small and outdated, but it provided tea, coffee, biscuits, and liquid soap in the bathroom.
