tender city heart

central locationmassive bedsoundproof windowssuper clean room
the location was close to the station i found it simple to access everything i needed. the bed was a massive size i had plenty of space. the soundproof windows were such a gift karaoke nearby faded away. i also noticed the room was spotlessly clean which added to the peaceful feel.
the kettle had to sit on the floor to boil it felt a little inconvenient i was also limited to english breakfast tea.

The hotel location works well. It is near central station. The staff are helpful and friendly. I did get an early check-in. This helped with my luggage.
The room felt cramped. I could not adjust the temperature. I asked the reception but there was no solution. The breakfast options seemed limited.

this hotel rocks!

central locationcomfy bedamazing staffdetailed description
the location rocks as its central and near the train station plus restaurants. the rooms are stylish and my room had a comfy bed and it was super clean. the staff was amazing and their gin selection impressed me with detailed descriptions. i like the location in the city center as i could walk everywhere.
the room was small and had hardly any storage space, so little floor space existed with my luggage. also the bedside shelves were tiny.

the hotel bar stays open late, until 2 am, which rocks for a nightcap after a long day. it provides a good vibe, exuding camaraderie, and had many options for drinks.

The location is central to attractions. Reception staff were hasty and kind. They served with a smile. Bar staff were really good. They were knowledgeable on cocktails.
The rooms and bathroom especially were very cramped. The hotel had an evacuation at 4am. Management could have handled this better. We received no apology for the inconvenience when we were allowed back in.
