central locationlate musicsmall room
the location was acceptable. it put me right in the heart of the city.
The noise at night was something else. I couldn't sleep until after 2:00 a.m. the music from the pub downstairs was really loud. it reminded me of the band was playing in my room. i was also disappointed with the size. The room felt really small.

lovely stay in a vibrant location
central locationhigh standardbright decorationfriendly staff
the location was really good. it was central to everything (i could easily walk everywhere i wanted to go). the room was very well-finished to a high standard. the styling was bright and well-decorated.
the room i had was unbelievably small, making it a little difficult to move around comfortably with luggage (but i made it work!).
