Very modern looking hotel, very central for work, but a little outside the city. There is some noise between the rooms, but that's OK. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Nice breakfast and very good dinner. They had a birthday today and decorated the breakfast area with balloons, and I'm so jealous! I want them in my room!

This Hotel should be much better than it is. GOOD points: - The location is good and easy to get to. - The Rooms are clean and well maintained, the Bathroom and Shower are good (with plenty of hot water during 'peak hours') - Food is quite good, Breakfast has a good variety of foods - They have a small on-site 'shop' open 24hrs for drinks and snacks - Room Windows open to allow fresh Air 👍 BAD Points: - The Staff on Reception are miserable - The beds are horrific to sleep in👎 a 'double' is two twins beds pushed together (not zipped/attached together like other Hotels 👎). The mattress is some thin squishy Matt on top of an even softer mattress, which results in a terrible night's sleep ☹️ SUMMARY: Would I stay here again? No, as I want to sleep when I travel, not wake up tired...
