Positive: Very friendly and helpful staff on reception. Able to store luggage (including big cases) free before check in and after check out. Beautifully furnished with wooden floors and a lovely lounge. Free laundry in the basement - just ask at reception. Rooms were spacious and clean, plenty of storage. Kitchen well equipped and plenty of fridge space. Negative: Location is a bit out of the way, but there are plenty of public buses. Not all the tour buses will stop here so do check.
