fantastic room, accessible location

clean roomcomfortable roomaccessible placemissing mirror
i stayed in november 2024 for a family event. the room was very clean and comfortable. i didn't hear any noise from the dj playing in the pub, even though it was happening. the location was great, with plenty of shops and food options nearby.
The only issue i encountered was the lack of a mirror in the bedroom. This made using a hairdryer after showering a bit difficult!

The reception lady was cute. She was super helpful. the manager showed us to our room. i found this to be a warm touch, even if i didn't require additional services.

adequate stay with some drawbacks

missing outletinadequate storage
the absence of a lift was inconvenient my room was located on the second floor requiring navigating four flights of stairs. this could pose a significant challenge for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. furthermore the washbasin lacked a pop-up waste outlet making it impossible to fill for washing. clothes storage was also inadequate with only two coat hangers provided.
