Our “Compact room” which we had booked, was very small. Ideal for one person but a bit small for two. Despite that, everything we needed was included.

It's a nice, cosy place to stay for 2 nights. Convenient walk to the main shops/cafes. The room is a little worn out, and can do with a refresh, but the staff's excellent service and friendliness more than made up for it.
