a decent stay overall

helpful staff quiet hotel spacious room small bathroom blocked drain old-fashioned furniture
the staff seemed kind and helpful i really appreciated that. they even assisted me with calling a cab in the morning. the hotel was quiet and spacious too
the bathroom was small and i found the toilet positioned too close to the shower. the shower drain seemed partially blocked causing a small pool of water to form after showering. the room was clean but the furniture looked old fashioned and could use a refresh

the location is perfect. i could walk everywhere i wanted (and i really wanted to walk everywhere!). the restaurant right next door was fantastic. i found the staff to be very helpful and friendly too.
the bathroom tap was broken. also, the shower head had some issues. i found the room to be quite expensive considering the quality (maybe it was just my room?).
