Look, I love a generic budget hotel as much as the next person. But this one has charm—and I do not use that word lightly. It’s right next to the old town walls, so you can walk out the door and pretend you’re a medieval guard for five minutes.
Plus, the location is ridiculous. You’re a two-minute stroll from the train station. If you’re arriving by rail, you will basically stumble directly into the lobby. It’s like the hotel hugged the station.
And the staff? I swear they’ve been trained by angels. I arrived a bit grumpy (long journey, missed my snack), and the receptionist gave me a smile so warm I nearly asked for her number. Spoiler: I didn’t. But I did get a free biscuit.
The Room: A Fortress of Sleep
You walk into a Premier Inn room, and you just know the bed is going to swallow you whole. This one had a window overlooking the river. I opened it, let the sea breeze in, and immediately felt 10% more sophisticated.
The pillows? They were like clouds if clouds were made of foam and had a slight "I’m here to help you nap" attitude. I used four. Four, people. No shame.
And the shower. Oh, the shower. It had actual water pressure. None of that sad drizzle you get in some places. This was a proper rush of hot forgiveness after a day of sightseeing.
