Large room and bathroom, loved the shower - large space and easy to use.

Need to have at least a half window screening to those windows overlooking the busy street.
Cars racing around outside up until about 0200.

Good but could have been better
Pros:

It’s location, cleanliness and bistro

Cons:

The view from the room was poor and the coffee shop did not open until 9.00 which didn’t fit with our early starts. We asked for a non slip bath mat but they were not available

Pros:

Location was great and staff were super friendly

Cons:

Our room was situated at the rear of the hotel and to access it you had to exit the hotel and walk around towards the rear. Not great on a wet night. Also there was lots of noise disruption. Our room 303 was particularly noisy as it is situated over a laundry or something with continuous noise as you try to sleep. Also there was alot of road noise as hotel is located on a junction.
