The location proved excellent. It was very central. The rooms are finished to a high standard. The hotel thought of everything, even providing plastic champagne flutes in the room. The provided shower products from Bath House added a special touch.
The room was slightly too warm despite having a fan.

the location provided easy access to nearby pubs. the room was super clean when i arrived. i found good value for the money, too. communicative hosts answered all my questions quickly.
the room lacked a shelf in the shower room. placing toiletries was difficult as a result. i did encounter some plastic glasses as well. glass alternatives would improve the experience.
