Pros:

I think the 50 quid deposit is a scam, which is foisted upon you at arrival....and it's not clear in the room that the crisps etc aren't complimentary, which you'll then be charged for out of this "deposit". SCAM

Nice aesthetics, fair location, extremely small rooms, bad value for money.
Pros:

Nice aesthetics

Cons:

For €250/night for extremely small rooms, they could at least have a decent pair of pillows on the bed.
