The manager Took my bags and stored them for the day with no charge and he didn’t want to be tipped I tried. The bar has a good selection of beers and they also serve food but you have to order it Before 8:30 PM because that’s when the kitchen closes. I would stay here again.

Cozy & comfy

Rooms are VERY cozy and bathrooms even more so — but the bed was comfy, the staff friendly, and the access to a free laundry room was an unexpected luxury at the end of weeks-long travel. Bonus: the small cafe next door is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and it, plus walking access to shops and public transport, made this an ideal location.

Solid hotel

Pretty good location and great for getting to the key tourist sites. Staff were friendly and helpful. I have to say the room was mostly tidy, but there were signs the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned fully. The door locking was with a key and the lock was very temperamental. An upgrade to key cards is needed!

Everything was great about the property, staff and location except the fact that the TV channel never worked except one channel. Anyways we asked the reception but didn’t chase it as it was a non-issue for 2 days. But staff and everything else was pleasant. Thanks
