"The privilege twin room I booked was excellent in terms of amenities (ironing board and iron, kettle and tea stuff, fridge (complimentary water and Pepsis), Nespresso machine and capsules, bathrobes and slippers, and decor. The only critical comment I would say is that the room was very warm at night and the fridge was placed inside a cupboard and not ventilated so it was also overheated and contributed to the temperature in the room. I’m sure this can be easily remedied. Overall a great stay...

"Very cool to stay in the old cells and a great location in the centre of the city. Booked parking in advance as it’s limited but worked out well. Only minor negative was the inability to open any windows in the room, but it was a prison so…"
