Excellent . As long as readers understand it is up a flight of open air stairs the property inside is excellent. In a quiet area too, but good local facilities, and bus stops.

Disliked: Room comfort

Very noisy

The room was good value and use of a kitchen a bonus, but you have to supply your own milk etc. Main problem was the noise. Situated above a row of bars and restaurants has the obvious noises. The worst thing was the noise from the guest in the room next to me, throughout the night. Without any staff on hand, no immediate action could be taken. Was offered a change of room for last night.
