Fantastic place, easy walking distance from the Train, and then to the Cathedral, Castle and Strep Street. Clean and spacious. The only slightest negative was the door handles to the room and bathroom were rather loose and hard to use. I 100% recommend and would stay again

Although this is one of three rooms and not a hotel, value for money is exceptional. Wi-Fi, mini fridge included. Bedding was super soft.

No guest WiFi, NOT a hotel!!!

The room was clean and comfortable. Shower and bathroom space is really tiny. The biggest issue for me was the fact that there was NO guest wifi. Also there is an awful smell when you walk up the stairs to the rooms. The check in experience was not very positive either. I had to look for someone to pay my bill. He did not know any details about my booking or my rate. He did not offer my a receipt when I paid.

Bad sleep

The room was extremely hot, needed the windows open to be able to sleep at all so it was also noisy from outside and the smell of cigarettes came in from staff taking breaks. There was a cleaning cupboard right outside the room constantly being opened and slammed. The shower was either scalding hot or freezing. The bed was very comfortable and the staff were nice. There was a fridge in the room which was good but it would tick on and off all night and make so much noise it would wake you up every time. Had a couple nights of bad sleep. Location was great.
