Cute place that is walkable to all the shops and pubs but far enough away it’s quiet. The breakfast was good, and it was nice there was parking. Comfy rooms and friendly staff.

Excellent staff. Clean and walkable to pubs, shopping, etc. Only complaint is the mattress. It was great need of replacement.
Karla, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic stay

Check in area was very cramped with all the people checking in. Rooms were basic. Hallways were crazy, up and down stairs with winding halls and doors. Felt like a sobriety test. Nice they had underground parking and a park attendant. It was small.
Lorae, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff. Comfortable bed and very nice room. Good breakfast.
