Pros:

Location, walking distance to the Entertainment Quarter, stadium etc
Quirky vibe, older building and amenities but all the basics are there.
Light breakfast included at in-house Cafe.

Cons:

Security was dodgy, relying on other guests to keep coded gates and doors locked after hours. I found them left open on several occasions.

Heritage feel, good facilities. We liked the location and were particularly pleased to find it had affordable laundry facilities.

Cons:

Decor a little faded - could do with a tidy up and repaint.

Very happy with the stay, it lived up to my expectations for my holiday.
Pros:

The breakfast was good and just the perfect portion. The location was very good and it was easy to reach by bus and take bus from hotel to different parts of the city. Quiet neighbourhood during night. Loved the interior and it felt as a safe and good place to stay.
Very pleased that it was an adult clientele (at least when I stayed there), without small children and babies.

Cons:

I wish there was more closet space, with shelves to store clothes. It would also have been nice to have a safe in the room to store passports and valuables.
Unfortunately there is no staff there in the evening, and we experienced not being able to contact anyone by phone, email or WhatsApp the first day since we arrived at the hotel a little late in the day.
