Areas around central station are always with tons of mixed types of people. It's a trade off for the convenience. Did not feel unsafe through my stay. Definitely not the same as uptown accommodations.

Fabulously located near the train centre in the centre of the city. Worth paying more for a bigger room as they come with comfy chairs and all the little extras. Great selection of breakfast options and has a fab restaurant attached to it.cannot fault it and it’s indeed it was our third stay here for a holiday
