Fabulous, wish we stayed longer
This is a fabulous place to stay, especially for us as we were going to an event at the Oran Mor, which is just opposite. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally helpful and friendly, and even though we were self-catering next door, that was nice to know. The living room is a very generous size, with high ceilings and large windows and perfect for our purposes, which included having relatives over for breakfast. Bedrooms are at the back, which is quiet, and we slept very well, although the second bedroom, which we didn’t use, has a rather noisy boiler in it. I’m not sure how I would have felt about sleeping in that room. There are two bathrooms, which is great, but they could do with some updating. However, don’t be put off, this is a great place to stay in a super area. We’re planning to stay again.

Very nice, spacious apartment. Great having 2 full bathrooms with toiletries. Having a grocery store within walking distance and a full kitchen, made it so you didn't have to eat out everyday.
