the staff were friendly. the location is very central. it is near shops and restaurants. the room was a good size so i slept well.
it was advertised as 4 stars. this is inaccurate. i think it's two stars at best. there was mold on the side of the bed and ceiling. the room was very basic and attached to a pub.

easy accessbay windoweasy check-in
the location worked very well. i found it easy to walk to many places. the room had a lovely bay window. i also appreciated the easy check-in and check-out process.
the building's character, while charming, meant that some areas felt slightly worn.
Facilities

the room included a shower with good water pressure. bedding was nice. there were several places to eat and drink near the hotel so i had plenty of options for meals.

excellent locationfriendly welcomequirky designcigarette smellblack moulddoor frame
the location was excellent. the staff offered a friendly welcome. the building has a quirky design, especially noticeable on the stairs. the en suite was very good too.
the room smelled strongly of cigarettes. black mould covered the bathroom ceiling. the main door did not fully fit the door frame, so corridor lighting bled into the room all night.
