Excellent location, sizeable room and comfy bed.

Windows could not open due to top floor level and the safety concerns but this meant the room has a very musty smell.

Pros:

Location and comfort

Cons:

There is a bad smell in the bathrooms, it feels as though the returns have not been properly installed to prevent bad fumes from coming back into the space.

Great location! Highly recommend
Pros:

The was a great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room looked out over the main square and it was lively. But the bedroom was super quiet. We never heard any outside noise while we slept.

Cons:

Two things: they don’t have bar soap or individual shampoo and conditioner. So they just have body wash and a 2-1 shampoo.
Also- they offer a voucher for £7 to use at the coffee shop next door if you forgo the daily cleaning. I missed that sign at check in. My fault — but hopefully someone else gets to use it.
