David, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I enjoyed my stay here. The location was great and close to many shops and cafes. The room was clean and worked well for my needs. The bathroom was a touch dated, however it was more than suitable. The staff were friendly and assisted me with laundry services which was absolutely clutch for only traveling with a carry on for several weeks.
Sierra, 3-night trip

Tara, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is aged but the furniture and care is quite well. It was a comfortable stay. The biggest problems are floor creaks (expected) and in my room corridor light was visible from sides of the door which was not ideal.
