There are easily accessible irons, books and more tea, coffee etc downstairs by the back door.
The only negative was a lack of bath towels as the room only had one.
Overall We had a pleasant stay. It's in a good location and it's not bad for the price.
They don't have a regular reception, but someone can receive you till 6pm for check-in.
The room was fairly nice. However there was no hot water in the shower and it was fairly cold during my visit. I dealt with it because it was just one night. But it surely wasn't a nice experience since I was there for work. There was also a weird odor coming from the bathroom.
They didn't leave any coffee or tea in the room but I found some on a table at the end of the entrance hall.
The hotel itself is probably 15 minutes away from the center. And the area seems ok. It's ok for one night but I am not sure what it would be like if you stayed for longer. I probably won't book that place again.
The main issue with our stay is the noise from rooms above. Creaking floors and unfortunately the guest above us seemed to be entering the worlds loudest snoring competition. We were in room 12 which is close to front door so could hear people coming back late. So if you book a room here make sure you’re not in ground floor.
