Quirky comfortable and well situated would happily stay again and recommend to others
Pros:

Just a step outside to great cafes interesting shops train and City

Cons:

No room in bathroom to put toiletries/makeup
A couple of little shelves would be great
Also shelving in the little corner alcove in the bedroom Would be really useful to put clothing cubes leaving space to store shoes underneath

Pros:

Location is great, very clean

Cons:

The road noise was insane, there was drilling outside my room until midnight one night and I hardly managed to get any sleep unfortunately due to the noise on the road side rooms. Also the duvets were very thin and there was no extra blanket available. Sorry for the whinges, I had stayed on the non road side before and it was much better.

Great location and comfortable room
Pros:

We went to the Enmore Theatre and it was the absolutely perfect location for it. So central to everything there. The windows were also thick enough to keep most of the street noise out (not all, but most).

Cons:

The air conditioner was definitely due to be cleaned. We needed to turn it on because the room was stuffy but you could immediately smell that it was due to have a clean.
