Check in staff member was very friendly. Room was clean, and bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately I would not stay here again, due to the noise, They had Music till 2am which did not bother us at all, but the noise coming from what I assume was the smokers area was terrible, we were on the 3rd floor and we could hear all conversations word for word and felt like they were right outside our window.

Beds were comfortable and it was spacious for a family. I would not stay here again as it was very noisy can hear people next door and above you. It is right near a nightclub which goes till 2am. So if you are staying to get some sleep forget it. There were cockroaches in our room as well. Had dinner at the adjoining pub but staff were not very friendly. I do not recommend staying here.
