helpful staff roof top terrace super views weak shower long hair thin doors
The location was fantastic, right by the Roman Bridge! I had amazing views from my room. The staff was super cheerful, they were really helpful. The roof top terrace had such super views!
The shower wasn't very powerful at all! It ran over the on and off handle. Moving towards it turned it off. Some long hair was on the floor, definitely not mine. The doors banging was unbearable. I am a light sleeper. Thin room doors caused a lot of noise!

noise problem zero insulation
The rooftop offered a lovely view. The provided kitchen facilities were good.
The noise from the square below was a problem, especially late into the night. Zero insulation made it hard to sleep with partygoers and vehicles outside. The lack of double glazing contributed to this.

Fantastic Central Stay
air conditioning private garden
The room had air conditioning, a HUGE plus. The shared kitchen provided free filtered water, very convenient during the hot days. I used the private garden, it was a LOVELY space for relaxation.
The bathroom door did not close properly, and it affected privacy. The mattress felt too soft.
