The location is really convenient. I found it was about an 8-minute walk to the city centre. The room was quite modern, and I noticed it was very clean upon arrival. Breakfast provided a good selection of options. I found the staff to be both professional and polite.
I think the under-bed lighting was a bit odd. I had to throw pillows in front of the sensor each night to disable it.

i found the location quite convenient. it was a short walk to harkers bar (about 3-4 minutes along the canal). the room was designed like a small suite with two separate areas, which worked well.
