Mysigt hotell nära Central Market
Pros:

Mysigt litet hotell ovanför en pub på gångavstånd till Central Market och till Victoria Square. Extra plus för den fina terrassen utanför där vi intog vår frukost. Superbra med en hörna för ”book swap! Vänlig personal

Cons:

Rummet var fint och badrummet fräscht men något borde göras åt duschen eftersom det inte fanns något stopp för vattnet på golvet och vattnet rann ut ända till dörren. Vi fick använda badrumsmattan som stopp. Svaga läslampor. Gick inte att läsa med bara dem på.

Pros:

Location. Close to central markets. Also lovely beer garden and pub and restaurant below. Balcony upstairs also nice place to sit. Quiet with helpful, friendlyl staff.

Cons:

A couple of issues with room facilities but staff able to offer alternative rooms until remedied. Each room had quaint layouts which was part of charm. However several small steps that one had to be mindful of.
