9.6/10 Exceptional! (77 reviews)
Beautiful room with easy contactless check in. Right by the bus routes and main shopping and dining areas. Lovely fixtures and tastefully decorated. Bathroom was spacious. Kitchenette was adequate. Lovely tea selection and thoughtful free snacks. No coffee though but great cafes all around the corner. Room can be a bit noisy at night with bars downstairs.
