great location goody bag small room no fridge
the location was great and the room was beautiful. it was great to have tea and coffee making facilities. the goody bag was a lovely touch!!!
the room is very small and it has no fridge in it. we had a medicine that needed to be kept in the fridge so i struggled with that. there's also no staff or reception to talk to if you need anything. you have to dial a number to get help. i prefer to stay in a hotel next time.

really enjoyed my stay

convenient location comfortable bed thoughtful welcome pack beautiful atmosphere
the location was convenient, near shops and restaurants. the room had a good size and a really comfortable bed. a thoughtful welcome pack had nice treats and high quality products. a beautiful incense was lit adding to the atmosphere.
sound insulation was poor, so i could hear noises from the street sometimes. single glazing contributed to this, especially with wind.

stylish stay

nice decor two televisions ample coffee powerful shower
the room was nicely decorated. it included two televisions, one in the lounge and another in the bedroom. i found plenty of tea, coffee, and biscuits. the shower was quite powerful, and i appreciated the hot water. i was able to leave my luggage in the office after checking out, it helped a lot.
the sound insulation was not great, and i could hear noise from other rooms. the gap under the door let in hallway sounds. it was a minor inconvenience but worth noting.
