I absolutely loved the central location of the hotel, as it was just a short walk to major attractions and close to several pubs. The cleanliness was remarkable, and I appreciated the thoughtful amenities like tea, coffee, and beautifully decorated rooms that added a nice touch to my stay. The responsive communication from the staff was a bonus, ensuring all my questions were promptly answered.

We loved the location of the hotel. It's right in the heart of the city, close to all the major attractions, bars, and restaurants. The room was very clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and assisted us with our luggage, which was super helpful. We also appreciated the quirky hot water dispenser instead of a kettle—a nice touch!

It’s right in the heart of the city. I could easily explore all the main attractions on foot. The room was very clean and cozy. The shower pressure was great, and the staff were super accommodating. I felt safe as a solo traveler, and the luggage storage was a big help.

I loved the hotel's location, right in the heart of the city. It was close to all the main attractions. The room was spotless and had everything I needed. Staff were also helpful with messages and allowed me a late checkout, which was a nice touch.
