The room has recently been refurbished with new, beautiful tile, bathroom fixtures, mattress, and comfortable pillows. Everything worked, including the help, who had everything clean, breakfast on time and good coffee. They were helpful answering questions of the how, where, when variety that they hear every day. It's most convenient for walking to sites and restraunts.

Centrally located within walking distance to public transport. The room felt a bit aged and the bathroom could do with some refurbishment, but for a few nights a good choice of stay. Breakfast was a coffee and pastry at a bar close by. Check-in / out easy and uncomplicated with friendly front of house staff.
