The room was sufficient, the bed was comfortable. I was within walking distance to cafes, public transport, theatres, etc.
I did think the listing included a washing machine, but this was out of order. There were paid laundry facilities on-site though. The dishwasher in the room (bonus), was also not working.

Room and location very good.BUT booking in a nightmare…there is no one on reception so if you are arriving late, or if there is an issue with your room you must phone and wait.If you lock yourself out no one on site to help…worth paying a little more and getting the luxery of someone at the premises. BUT the accommodation good.

Good location, but this is my first that accomodation does not provide a shampoo. Usually Bodywash and Shampoo are basic amenity. Clean and enought facilities for staying.
