A step above your average hotel
Pros:

Pia at reception was so friendly and accommodating which was wonderful when I first arrived and set the standard for my stay. I was really impressed with the little things - enough power points beside the bed for phones and extras, mints and lovely linen. Thank you!

Cons:

This area of town is notorious for being steep and it’s a bit nerve wracking going down the lane ways, but once you’re at the property, the parking is all flat and the accommodation was on the ground floor, so it was easy.
