Room was more spacious than expected! We love that there’s a fridge in the room, and kitchenette area. It was also very walkable to a lot of places in the city center. The tv didn’t work for most of our trip, and we weren’t given the WiFi password during check in, and had to specifically ask for one. I also wish they would offer at least one house keeping service but it seems like they would only do it for 7+ days stay.

The pros: Staff are friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, close to shopping, restaurants, pubs, museums, etc. Access to a quick breakfast downstairs and in room kitchenette makes getting a quick snack simple. The cons: Room temperature control did not work in the two rooms we were in. I don't know why but the hotel is hot. Other guests stated their bathroom was like a sauna and we found it difficult to sleep. The windows don't open more than an inch or two and this is the only way to keep the room comfortable even in November. Turning down the heat would be more eco-friendly, comfortable and profitable. The lighting in the rooms is also inadequate.

This was my home base for four nights. The staff checked me in with ease, and early at that. This was much appreciated. The location was ideal near the Ha'penny Bridge. Groceries and restaurants were a short walk away. I utilized the kitchen for several meals as well as the washer and dryer on my last night. Despite proximity to bustling streets, the rooms are quiet during the evenings. The rooms are well considered in layout, design and cleanliness. The bathroom was also a gem. Every staff member encountered was kind and professional.
