Hotel was in the ideal location, meaning we could walk to any attraction in the city in around 20-25 minutes which was great! Rooms were small but did the job for a long weekend. Everything clean and staff lovely. Bear in mind that it is mainly a hostel so on weekend evenings the bar can be quite lively and the music can be heard from the second floor - wasn’t a problem for us but if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs! Overall though lovely stay and would stay again
