Service was fantastic. Only thing that could be improved upon is that our shower didn't have a door or curtain, so water often leaked onto the bathroom floor. Overall a really smooth check-in and check-out process 🙂

Great location and friendly staff, but the room was very small (no bedside table on one side and had to put the kettle on the floor to use it). I used the top of the wardrobe to store one suitcase but when I retrieved it a load of dust came down too.
