great locationgood foodfriendly staffdated roomnoise issuethin wall
The location was great (a short walk to the station). I also found the food to be very good. The staff were friendly, too.
The room felt quite dated. I could hear a lot of noise inside the building. The walls seemed thin.

the breakfast i had was pretty bad. the full english was not good. the bacon tasted like it was boiled and the sausages were cheap. the hotel room was kinda old too with wallpaper peeling off and mold in the bathroom. it was also loud because my room faced the street and i could not sleep well.
