Solid Stay in Central Location

central locationcoffee facilitieseffective air conditioning

The central location made it easy to walk or use public transport. My room had tea and coffee making facilities plus a fridge, very helpful. I requested a quiet room and the hotel provided one (a big plus). The air conditioning worked well too.

The interiors seemed somewhat old-fashioned.
