Great location and beds but some bathrooms need redesigning.
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent. It was near the museums but quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. The staff were also lovely.

Cons:

The bathroom was small but ok. However, out of the 3 rooms booked, in one room the toilet was so close to the wall that it was impossible to sit on normally. Even in a small bathroom this was a major design flaw, a corner toilet not facing the wall would solve the problem.
