Acceptable stay overall
great location friendly staff easy access thin wall room conversation light blocking
The location was advantageous. It provided easy access to various attractions. The staff members were friendly.
The walls seemed quite thin. I could hear conversations from adjacent rooms. This made it difficult to sleep at times. The curtains did not block out enough light.

Amazin Stay! Defo Coming Back
helpful staff perfect water pressure caffeine fix
The reception staff were amazing. They helped me find local spots so easy. I had a really great shower. The water pressure was perfect. The tea and coffee were good. I needed that caffeine fix. Breakfast was a full English. It got my day started right.
The noise at night got very loud. I could hear everything so easy. Earplugs helped a little bit.

My room had a comfy single bed. It felt so great after all that travel. The super clean bathroom includes fluffy towels, I used them after my shower. A kettle and tea and coffee made it easy to relax. I felt so cozy.
