Fantastic place in a fanstastic location

Would definitely return for another stay! The room itself had plenty of space for two, had what we needed and was comfortable to live in. For us, it was perfect for a short stay (we stayed two nights). The location was absolutely perfect too: only a few minutes walk to where we needed to be - city centre, cathedral, train station, etc. The only pieces of feedback I had was that i felt that the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, and that the toilet was shared. For the toilet though, it was kept very clean throughout our stay. Even with these, it hasn't changed our 5/5 rating of the stay!

Good location and a nice property. Three weird things: one the toilet was out of the room and upstairs, two the shower was directly in the room which is very weird and uncomfortable and three there were no staff on site at all which was odd. Otherwise good facilities and a comfy bed.

Great location for me, within walking distance of all the major sites, plenty of dining options nearby, the building itself was a treat! Staff was helpful. I was having a minor laundry emergency (a previous booking didn't have laundry services as advertised) and they were kind enough to accommodate me quickly and efficiently. The only down sides were seasonal. Our stay coincided with high temperatures and our room was stuffy, which is completely understandable, but the windows were not screened. Despite that, however, we very much enjoyed our stay and recommend it!

Lovely place with kind helpful staff who looked out for our family. Breakfast wasn't available, but the manager gave us some good tips, and there's plenty of great food options throughout the city. My stepson loved it, especially the big bathroom linked to the family room we used. And our dog felt at home, so was very relaxed. Its a perfect location for access to the centre, but keep in mind if you're a light-sleeper during a weekend as it can get noisy outside late at night.

Overall very enjoyable stay. We did not have breakfast as we preferred to eat out. Stairs are a little bit of a problem when carrying bags due to being very narrow with tight turns. Checked in late and code and instructions on how to find room were excellent. Would stay again.
