“What strikes me is the genuine warmth from the staff, evident in small gestures like assistance with luggage, which complements the comfortable, if basic, rooms. The included breakfast provides a satisfying start, and being just a short walk from the city centre makes this a well-placed option for those needing a straightforward and accommodating stay.”
