The hotel is conveniently located, close to the train station and in the heart of the city. The rooms are cozy but challenging for groups needing separate beds. The service is efficient but lacks a personal touch. Dining options are limited, and the noise from the pub below can be bothersome at times.

The hotel is located in a great neighborhood, just 3 minutes away from the main train station. The rooms are modern with good en-suite facilities, although the fact that three single beds needed to be pushed together was a bit inconvenient. The service from the receptionist was adequate, but the dining options were very expensive. The small pub on the ground floor added a cozy atmosphere to the place.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the main train station and situated in an adjacent Irish pub. The rooms were modern and clean, providing a comfortable stay. However, the dining was a bit pricey and the facilities lacked some amenities I expected.

The hotel is situated right in the bustling city center, close to the train station, making it very convenient for travelers. The rooms are tidy, with three single beds that can be pushed together, and each has its private bathroom, maintaining a good level of cleanliness. Despite being above a pub on a noisy street, the location offers quick access to transportation and key city attractions. Dining options are available at a slightly high rate but include pasta dishes. Though the hotel has a few drawbacks like noise levels and dining costs, its central location and room amenities make it a decent choice for a stay in the city.
