i found the staff very friendly. the room was super clean and cozy. it had enough space for two people. the hotel's location made it easy for me to walk to popular sites and nightlife. i also used the wardrobe with hangers that had plenty of space.
i noticed quite a bit of noise at night. there's a pub next door that stayed open late. this was party central until midnight or later.
