the room felt quite cramped. there wasn't much space to move around comfortably. the stairs were also very steep, made carrying my luggage up them rather difficult. it felt a little unsafe, especially with a suitcase.

the value was so good for the size of room and how comfortable it was. the accommodation completely was excellent. tea and coffee was provided with plenty of milk and sugar. i wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, its a great place.
i found the stairs steep. the rooms are in a converted terraced house. the room, though clean, was shabby slightly.
