Absolutely loved my stay here. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, the location is fantastic, and the whole place has a really fun, stylish vibe. Breakfast being included is a great touch, with plenty of options — I grabbed mine to go, which was super convenient. The complimentary minibar is also a standout, with water, soft drinks and snacks included. The rooms are on the smaller side, so larger suitcases can be a bit of a squeeze for longer stays, but everything is thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. Overall, a fantastic experience — I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was cleaned daily - air con was not adjustable to the room so often felt cold. The room had everything required for a couple of nights stay inc iron and hairdryer. Black background meant that plugging things in were fiddly but not too bad ( more an irritation) Staff were good and did not get in our way Local shops and restaurant were sufficient to get a variety of foods. We did not try the local restaurant in the hotel ( there was a great bagel and coffee place v close by which did great b/fast)
