decent STAY , BUT with some ISSUES
parking problem thin walls
parking was a SIGNIFICANT problem. I found NO parking nearby. The closest car park required a ten-minute walk down a steep hill. The building was also VERY noisy. It seemed the walls were thin.

lovely getaway!
renovated room excellent location
Our room was amazing. It was newly renovated! the bathroom extractor fan, though, it could've been a bit stronger because the bathroom steamed up. the location? excellent!
i found the stairs a bit rickety! they were a challenge since i'm quite old. also, my bedroom window faced a high wall, not much of a view there.
