Helen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The checkin was quick. Our room was very spacious. The property itself is rather "tired" but the beds were comfortable. There are train tracks across the street but while some trains did pass they weren't a huge annoyance.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall the property was excellent' clean and tidy. tv was a bit different to operate. the only thing wrong was the transfer of loud talking from the adjoining unit at 6am which woke us both up.
Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed in a cheap deal room, there was no view to outside other than a tiny fenced courtyard. A little more attention could be paid to cleanliness. Very friendly host
