Great location, comfortable but a bit pricey.
Pros:

The location was great! The staff generally pleasant. The rooms comfortable, well maintained and the location quiet - despite being so close to the city centre and university area.

Cons:

The rooms a bit tight-fitting; the toilets super compact. When there was room availability for an early check-in, it would be made available only if one signed-up to a membership scheme. This didn't make much sense. The pricing on the dear (expensive) side.
