This hotel room went beyond my expectations, the room was very spacious and clean. The toilet was amazing including a bath and a shower which definitely made my stay even better. I was very impressed with the quality of the hotel for the price paid. It was only 10 mins walk from the train station. I will definitely recommend and I will be booking here soon again. Only thing to improve: there was no fridge and there was a missing piece in our toilet sink but none of this affected our stay
