Although the service was struggling a bit to keep things moving smoothly, I found the staff trying their best.

However, being so near to the train station meant dealing with some noise from nearby roadworks on the bridge. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor inconveniences worth bearing for the location and lovely rooms.
