6.0

Location was quite good. Easy walking to Train Station, Octagon, St Pauls, City Centre. Some good street art nearby

One of the beds looked like it was going to swallow my wife. The photo of the hotel in Booking.com largely features the Casino next door to the more modern hotel on the left. Indicated we wanted check-in after 2pm. Room wasn't ready by 3pm. Took longer than necessary to check-in. Not much open nearby if there on a Sunday. However lunch at the casino was fine.

Walking distance to downtown and railway station. Nice cafe across road.
