Overall, the accommodation was good. The listing said blackout drapes/curtains, which wasn’t the case at all. Bright light shone through the blinds and sheer curtain. Can’t claim it’s blackout when the blinds don’t completely close and when the lights are off you can still see everything in the room. Also didn’t have a rainfall showerhead as stated.

We enjoyed our stay - the photos when booking were a little deceiving. The hotel was quaint, clean in a quiet location. Our room was a good size, except the bathroom, which was long and narrow - understandable given the heritage of the building, but we had a different impression when booking. We were not in the room all that much, and so not a deal breaker.

A delightful hotel, very conveniently situated. Plenty of eating options close by. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattress I was sleeping on. It needed a top-up cover.

Second stay here, this time two of us so selected what looked like the bigger room. Was same size but no wardrobe just a hanger so a bit tight for two of us. The guy at the desk said all rooms are the same size, wasnt interested in my enquiry!

Location of the property, clean and comfortable room and nice amenities made for a brief but great stay. One exceptionally disinterested staff member at the front desk took the shine off. Made the experience feel like a backpackers accom not a hotel.
