10/10 Excellent

Great location in a very cool part of town. The room was newly decorated beautifully and comfortable for its size Good facilities on site and heaps of walkable options. Air con works well Only warning many rooms are up lots of stairs and there is no elevator or help if you have heavy bags which is why we chose the ground floor for a one night stay before a flight out.
