Great location
Pros:

The staff were very attentive. They answered every query with a smile. Comfortable bed and very quiet.

Cons:

The stairs were a bit of a challenge as I need a walking stick, but that is a personal observation, not a complaint.

A little expensive for what we had
Cons:

The flat itself was good but the outside and entry was a let down wondered where we were going. It was situated 3 doors down from hotel.
Had to ask for tea towels and oven gloves so we could cook. No instructions or fire safety info

Pros:

Está muy bien ubicado, 10-15 minutos andando del núcleo turístico y de la estación de trenes.
Habitación correcta y limpia.

Cons:

La calle es muy ruidosa por el tráfico continuo y durante día y noche.
Si puedes pedir una habitación que no de a la calle mejor.

Comfy and cosy and just a walk away from everything I needed
Pros:

I've stayed at this hotel a few times now - I keep coming back because I'm always very impressed with it. I was a single traveler and stayed in double room, which had everything I needed. The bed was comfy, the room had both AC and a heater, and the staff were lovely. There was also very little noise from other guests. This hotel is a 5-10min walk from Regent Street and 15-20mins walk to the train station, which is the perfect location for me. It is easy to come and go with a card reader on the front door. If you have lots of big luggage be aware that some of the stairs/hallways to get to rooms can be a bit tight!
