The staff was wonderful. Problems were resolved quickly. The room was very dark even with all of the lights on. The carpet was due to be replaced, . Thats probably why the lights were so dim . The breakfast was very good, cooked options are available along with pastries a ,fruit, and, cheeses

The staff was excellent! They helped w our heavy luggage and where very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. It was situated in a very convenient spot to go walking to nearby places. Felt safe the entire time. Only negative thing I can say is that it doesn’t have AC (we where there in early August) but it wasn’t that bad without it.

Das, typisch englische Frühstück war lecker. Frische Eierspeisen auf Bestellung, kleine Obst, Gemüse und Aufschnitt Auswahl. Aber völlig ausreichend und lecker. Freundlicher, zuvorkommender Service. Nur der Service bzgl. Reinigung des Zimmers war nicht gut. Wir würden das Hotel aber generell wieder buchen. Tolle Lage! Super bequemes Bett.

I loved my small attic room, very cozy. It had everything I needed. The bed was supremely comfortable. The tub was very deep and I used that every night! The staff was very friendly. I love the location in the student part of town. There are lots of nice places to eat and drink that were friendly and low-key.
