The hotel has a great location, being a short walk from the city center and close to cycle routes. However, the rooms weren't as clean as expected, with some unpleasant odors and uncomfortable beds. The service staff were friendly and attentive, but the dining options left much to be desired. Overall, I felt that the price did not match the experience I had during my stay.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great location for visiting the football stadium, with a lovely area to walk my dogs. The rooms were quite clean overall, but they could really use some updates; the cleanliness didn’t quite meet my expectations based on UK standards.
