Cons:

Er is geen lift. Het hotel heeft 2 verdiepingen, 24 traptreden per verdieping. Je kunt in de directe omgeving niet vrij parkeren. Hiervoor geven ze een paar dagen voor aankomst een wijk door ongeveer 10-15 minuutjes lopen door de botanische tuinen vlakbij.

Clean & comfortable and close to Oran Mor
Pros:

Friendly, unobtrusive staff.
Clean and well presented bedroom.
Brilliant, strong shower with plenty of hot water (no fluctuation in temperature).

Cons:

Entrance to street was hard to find (it’s opposite Spar). Very limited parking outside, it’s short stay during the day which is 08:00 am to 10 pm. It’s also very expensive.
Tv was a bit “clunky” finding channels.
Bath towel quite small.

Pros:

L'edificio è davvero molto bello e anche la zona è decisamente interessante, vicino a università e musei. La scala interna antica è bellissima. La camera era molto bella e elegante.

Cons:

La scala interna, seppur bellissima, è un po pesante da fare con i bagagli.

Spacious rooms and near bus stop
Pros:

Good location with bus stop right outside for going into the city centre. Very spacious room. We found free parking a 10 min walk away on Kirklee Circus.

Cons:

Breakfast was nice but quite basic and not overly special. Staff were friendly when we spoke to them but lacked an element of hotel professionalism. Bed was quite small for 2 people, but was comfortable.
