4/5Very Good
Less than 20 mins walk from the railway station with wheeled hand luggage, this hotel was easy to find, located on a busy road junction. A very different but stylish & inviting foyer & reception area surprised me on my entry into the hotel. Straight to reception to check in & I was asked to fill in a registration form & my passport was photocopied. Maybe it was the language barrier as, even though it was quite friendly, I found the experience quite cold, even robotic. I had to ask for info on breakfast & Wi-Fi etc & was told that all info was on printouts in the room. I did manage to find out that breakfast had to be ordered for the following morning & a time booked for same. With access by either a lift or stairs, I was taken to my room, no. 110, by the receptionist using the stairs (just a small number of steps & not at all steep). With my room key & key card for electricity in hand, I opened the door to my room & what a first impression as the design, layout & colour scheme was really eye catching in a positive way. A large room, bright, clean & contemporary with a solid oak floor, wall mounted tv, wardrobe, safe, luggage rack, double bed, armchair, mirror, work desk, footstool/pouffe, minibar (photo of prices attached to this review), coffee table, smoke alarm, aircon ranging from 16 to 30 degrees, large double radiator, small dining table & 2 chairs, dressing gown, slippers & 2 spare electrical sockets. A large window & a door to a nice sized balcony (with 2 chairs) meant a lot of natural light in the room but there was also noise from traffic, not massively loud but nonetheless, I was very much aware of it. No noise issues from inside the hotel. The free Wi-Fi with password activation & a pick of 6 user log ins was quick to connect to, had good speed & was consistent & reliable. The bathroom was large, clean, fresh, stylish & well designed with great use of space. With tiled floor & walls there was a free standing bath, bath shower mixer with fixed height rain shower head, an adjustable height shower head & hose on a rail which could be used fixed or handheld, good water pressure, loads of hot water, shower curtain, hair & body liquid soap in a wall dispenser, large mirror, ceiling vent, wall mounted hairdryer, dual voltage shaver socket, heated towel rad, towels, chair, liquid soap, hand sanitizer & hand & body lotion in wall mounted dispensers, small bottle of hair & body shampoo, shower cap & vanity kit. I found the bathroom to be quite dark with just the ceiling light on but very bright when the wall lights above the mirror were turned on. Breakfast, served from 08:00 to 11:00, was tasty & filling. I ordered it on the evening before & booked it for 09:30. I was ready to go down for it when I heard a knock on my door which turned out to be my breakfast being brought to me which I wasn’t aware was the process. On the menu was English breakfast (eggs, beans, bacon & sausages), boiled/poached & fried eggs, scrambled eggs with cheese, omele
