Great stay
I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting much for a 2 star hotel but there was no issues really, the hotel is in a great location right in the city centre, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was perfect and the rooms were ok too, the only slight issue was a slight smell in the room when you first walked in this included the corridors too but I suppose due to the hotel being pet friendly this is to be expected but great stay.
