The location was superb. It was really easy to get around. The breakfast was tasty, with a wide variety of choices.
It was a struggle getting luggage up the narrow stairs. The room was quite small. It was difficult to move around freely.

The breakfast included a waffle option i thought was great. the room was clean, and all necessary amenities were present. the location was very central. I could easily walk to all the attractions.
my room was on the top floor so i climbed many stairs. this could be difficult for some peoples. the room had sloping ceilings and it made accessing both sides of the bed difficult. i found the room quite warm even though it wasnt hot outside.
