a haven of delights
kind staff comfortable bed good coffee
All staff seemed kind and helpful. the room felt fine and the bed was VERY comfortable. the hotel possesses a nice and large downstairs area with many chairs. The coffee served at the coffee bar is SO good.
The room was quiet and tidy. HOWEVER, it was SO small I could not open my luggage fully when on the floor. there was no chair to sit down and work comfortably. bathroom also felt small.

The hotel location was pretty central, so that was acceptable.
The shower design was awful, I nearly slipped. The towels felt tiny, they barely wrapped around me. My room was noisy. It faced a bar that blasted music until 3 AM, I was so annoyed.

perfect location tea selection late breakfast
The hotel's location was perfect, so close to all the action! The room included needed items, towels, tea, coffee, an ironing board, a safe, and a hairdryer. Breakfast runs until 11 am, a massive plus for those of us who like to sleep in. I had a fantastic time.
The noise from the fan outside my window really bothered me. It was so loud and didn't stop until after 11 PM, then started up again at 6 AM! For the price I paid, I really expected better.
