My "standard twin room" was just lovely. the staff proved very helpful, and breakfast was AMAZING!!! it was of such good quality. the room was clean too. It was a good experience!!!

The room was right next to the railway platform. The trains began early. two electronic keys did not work. This was frustrating. wi-fi for phone calls in the room did not work well enough, so i had to go outside to make a call.
