“Not central and a bit plain”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010

This hotel is about 2km from the centre of town - about 30 minutes walk. Definitely not a place to be without your own transport. There is a restaurant within the hotel (I didn't try it) and a McDonalds across the road but that's it as far as dining is concerned in the industrial area.

The room I had was on the 2nd floor and was in the eaves, so you couldn't stand upright on one side of the bed - and this is where the luggage rack was. Half the rooms on the 2nd floor are in the eaves.

It was absolutely spotlessly clean but it was really tired. Lighting in the room was poor and the bed was rock hard. There were no spare blankets/pillows in the room but were provided upon request. The bathroom, whilst on the small side was also poorly designed - when sitting on the toilet your knees were pressed into the door. When the hotel is busy, the hot water is also not reliable. My shower went from boiling hot to freezing cold and back again repeatedly.

Breakfast was plentiful and varied although the fruit compote was tangy (i.e. it was off). There was limited or no service staff in the breakfast room, the demand for tables outstripped supply - most tables were made up for the restaurant.

Reception staff were pleasant and spoke good English.

Overall, I'd recommend finding a more central hotel that is worthy of its 2 stars.
