Staff were lovely. Room and en-suite were clean, good towels, queen bed. Breakfast was fine. This is a budget hotel and was of a good standard. But sadly not great to be woken by a loud voice and booming music at 6am from the spinning class at the private sports club gym club adjoining the building.
