A clean basic room, the bed was small but very comfortable. There was a separate kitchen/dining area with all you needed if you wanted to cook. This room also had sofas and a TV it. Complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee were available at reception. Great location for the city centre.

The bed was comfortable and I appreciated USB plugs in the headboard (the only place over 7 stays where I saw them). It was very clean and I appreciated the self catering kitchen with stove, oven, fridge and microwave.

Best accommodation we’ve stayed in for a long time. So comfortable, clean and handy with the kitchenette area. Staff were so lovely. Very central and within walking distance of so many places in the city. Will definitely be staying here again.
