gluten-free optionsconstant trafficelusive sleep
the breakfast included gluten-free options (a relief, really).
The room faced a busy road, and the traffic noise was constant. Even with the windows closed, sleep was elusive. i think they should do something about the window.

Charming Stay with Perfect Breakfast

convenient locationfriendly staffperfect breakfast
The location is really convenient. I found it a short walk to the city centre and near many shops. the staff were friendly and helpful from arrival through departure. the breakfast was a highlight, it was cooked perfectly and gave me a great start each day. I also found the room very clean and provided all necessary amenities.
the ensuite was small, providing little space for storing toiletries.
