8.7Verified guest“The staff were polite, and the room was spacious with a pleasant view of the private gardens. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the location was marvellous, next door to the bus station, art galleries, the Playhouse theatre, shops, and restaurants.”
8.7Verified guest“Good reception and check-in. A few extras would have made this good apart-hotel an excellent one – namely, a bar of soap in the bathroom (the dispensers were out of reach from the bath), a shelf in the shower room for a toilet bag, and clearer instructions for kitchen appliances like the dishwasher. Overall, we were very satisfied; these comments are meant to help, not to criticise too severely.”
