Clean, comfortable in great part of town
Clean and comfy bed, we have private room so whole room was great for space though small as like any accommodation in an older style building. Service at front desk was friendly with each passing as well as check in and departure. Bathrooms well equipped & extremely clean and looked after.

This is a fantastic location for travelers. There is only one drawback... at night, you might have difficulty sleeping with the noise from the neighboring nightclubs. Plan accordingly and enjoy the rest of the great benefits this place has to offer.
