It was just enough for a short stay in the city. I wish there is a room for a family or accomodation for a family. Overall it was an awesome experience.

Great Location - easy walk to the city centre. Lovely accomodation only problem for me was the room set up not good for privacy if you are sharing with anyone . Wall between the shower/ bathroom and the bedroom was only a tinted glass ! not great if you are sharing with a family member or someone you dont want to see you while showering etc. I do not know if all the rooms are like this but ours was.

Beds and pillows were uncomfortable , mattress way too firm. We have stayed prior and enjoyed the breakfast but today found that bacon wasn't available at all so my family was disappointed with that also

Other than the frosted glass shower cubicle that is immediately adjecent to one of the beds (a bit disconcerting if sharing the room with family/friends), the room was great.
