Pros:

Pleasant staff and good location. The rooms have been recently spruced up and the bathroom has a great shower.

Cons:

The room lacked curtains and just had a poorly fitted venetian blind. This meant that at 4am when the sun came up, the room became incredibly bright necessitating the need to place my underpants on my head to blot out the light.

Pros:

The room was very clean and welcoming. The bathroom was spotless. Loved all the little touches with the biscuits, tea and coffee sachets, and the mini toiletries.

Cons:

Not exactly the hotels fault, but the traffic noise outside, people on the street all chatting, and the church bells going off every 15 minutes that kept me awake most of the night.

Good and comfortable stay
Pros:

Good location, perfect for short stays and easy access to supermarkets and restaurants and very close to bus stops. The room was nice, clean, comfy. The tea, coffee and snacks provided were good. The staff was helpful when approached with issues and the check-in and check-out process was easy.

Cons:

WiFi issues. The staff were helpful but still the signal was poor two floors upstairs. I had to listen to a few lectures online but had to use my phone internet in the end. The small fridge had limited cooling and could be better as it might otherwise lead to food going bad.
