Let’s start with the positives, location is great walking distance to all the shopping, restaurants and bars you could as for. The room is also very large and spacious! Now for what let our stay down, there happened to be an arts festival on the weekend we were staying and we were not informed of this beforehand. The music was blaring from the alley way well after midnight which made our first night less than enjoyable. Secondly the sound proofing in the rooms is terrible we could hear our neighbours conversations the whole weekend. Which felt like we had no privacy at all.
