easy accessexcellent locationsuper clean premisesfriendly staffstreet noisenarrow stairssmall room
the location was excellent with easy access to local shops i found the premises super clean the coffee available was good. the staff were very friendly and efficient making my stay smooth the decor was very nice and added to the overall ambiance.
the street noise was noticeable at times i think better soundproofing would help. i found access to the room difficult with very narrow stairs and a suitcase was hard to manage. the room was also very small for a double.

Really good Stay, Super clean and Well-Equipped Rooms!
quiet locationsuper clean roomtea selectionthoughtful touches
The location provided easy access to nearby pubs and restaurants. The room was impressively clean, a feature I value highly. There were useful facilities. I found a lovely selection of teas and coffee available outside the room with a hot water dispenser. I also noticed added essentials such as ear plugs and an eye mask, thoughtful touches I really appreciated.
My room was quite small, something to consider for longer stays or if you prefer more space.

A tapas bar downstairs offered AMAZING food and drinks. I noticed the restaurant had earned a solid reputation, and I enjoyed trying different dishes. This added convenience.
