Great stay with very friendly staff and frequent cleaning/room turnover. It’s a lovely building in a really convenient location, but it is on a fairly busy road and whilst the rooms were nice, they aren’t the most modern. Downside were doors closing noisily in the morning and rooms being soooo warm (it was during the heatwave, but upgraded fans or aircon might be needed). I’d definitely recommend still.
