My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were only half cleaned initially, and I had to move due to a malfunctioning A/C unit, which was inconvenient. On the bright side, the rooms were equipped with full facilities like an oven and a hair dryer. The location was great for accessing public transport, but there were occasional issues with the room showers. Despite these setbacks, the hotel is a convenient choice for travelers.

The hotel rooms were a good size for the price and in an excellent location, only a couple of minutes from the St James train station. The service was exceptional with friendly staff always willing to help. However, the noise from construction throughout the night was disturbing. The location is very central and close to everything, but the rooms we stayed in were filthy. The dining options were available onsite, but the closing time was a bit early. Overall, good value for money with some room for improvement.
