charming stay!
lovely room friendly staff
The room was so lovely! it had everything i needed for a comfortable few days. the staff were friendly, always ready to help with a smile. I really appreciated their attentiveness.
i found the bathroom to be a little dated. the side panel of the bath was coming away at the end, a minor inconvenience. it could use some updating to match the rest of the room's charm.

dated bathroom early noise
our room felt a bit tired and lacked some special touches. the bathroom seemed dated and the side panel of the bath was loose. also, early morning noise from a kitchen extractor fan woke us far too early.

adequate stay , some minor issues
good location clean room tea tray rundown steps garbage bins slippery bathtub
the location was very good , right in the center of everything. the room i had was clean and well presented. a basic tea tray was available , along with toiletries.
the metal steps to reach my room looked a bit rundown. i noticed garbage and recycling bins near the steps , they could be located elsewhere. the bathtub lacked a mat , it felt unsafe because it was very slippery.
