8/10 Good
"We stayed here for two nights recently. The location of this hotel is super convenient- it’s near bars,shops, cafes etc (uber/walking distance), but it wasn’t loud outdoor-noise wise. The lobby was easy to navigate and welcoming, and the staff at the desks were very friendly and helpful. Check in was easy, and bag storage was handy. The room itself was smaller than that of a premier inn/travelodge, with not a lot of room to move around and store your belongings. This however was perfect for us as we only stayed 2 nights, and didn’t have a lot of luggage. The floor was clean and so were the walls and windows. The bed was comfy and of a good size for one/two people, and the sheets etc were clean and smelled fresh. You only get one pillow each, which was comfy, but I would’ve loved another without having to request one. The toilet was what you would expect- clean, a good flush, and in a nice large area. The shower had good water pressure and didn’t leak, and also kept the temperature hot for a long duration. There were a couple of marks on the shower ceiling, which looked like they would have come out with some attention, but nothing too off putting. The room had a television, hairdryer, clean towels, shampoo, hand soap, a bin, and air con, which all came in handy. If you’re easily woken, take earplugs as the walls are quite thin. There was a vending machine for snacks, and a coffee machine in the lobby too. A lovely hotel with great staff, in a lovely location! Would use again."

"Overall, the hotel location and amenities within the hotel were fantastic. Loved the modernness of the place, nice gym and laundry facilities a plus. Only negative for me was the lack of airflow in the room, which made the room a bit humid, especially when the shower was used and lack of closet space ( basically there was none). For a few night stay tho, highly recommend it."
