We arrived very early from Hong Kong and they gave us a room 9am in the morning.
Not only that, they upgraded us to a suite as we are the VIP of Hotels.com.
Excellent hotel and service.

Good location close to station and busy shopping street. Hotelnisbtired and in need of renovation. Closer to a 3* than a 4*. Gym is annoyingly off site and only available from 8am-10am on a Wednesday!. Rooms are dated - no USB / Cable slots. Location is good but that’s where it ends I’m afraid. Won’t be staying again.

This was the perfect location. Steps from the main train station. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Steps from old town and great restaurants to include one in the hotel itself.

Very conveniently located, close to train station, shopping and the old town - easily walkable. Our room was very small - two people kept bumping into each other. Beds were comfortable.
