central location but some drawbacks

uncomfortable bed weekend noise
the location was very central and convenient for exploring.
The breakfast felt limited. It wasn't quite a full english or a full continental. the bed wasn't very comfortable and i could feel the springs, which affected my sleep. weekend evenings were noisy and i could hear a lot of noise from the back of the premises.

Acceptable Stay, but Breakfast Changes Disappoint

The host was friendly and funny, I will give them that.
I was informed upon arrival the full English breakfast was no longer served. The buffet style breakfast was not appealing. The ingredients seemed okay, it arrived at random times, resulting in cold toast as I waited for eggs.

location is good but breakfast and room service need improvements

limited breakfast small room
the location is central, making it easy to access nearby shops and restaurants.
The breakfast did not meet expectations. It was advertised as a full english breakfast but had limited options. i missed having fresh towels and a cleaned room during my nights count. the room i stayed in was small, feel a bit cramped (especially with luggage).
