Nice room, breakfast ok, staff friendly. Well positioned for the purpose of our trip. Downside was that people returning to rooms in early hours of(2 until 4am) were very noisy on the Saturday morning

Staff were very attentive and helpful. Looked after luggage as we arrived long before official check in time. Ordered a taxi for us. Asked for and got a very quiet room which seemed impossible given the ludicrously noisy location you are...
