really good location

i found the location is good. easy transport links are within a 5 min walk. the staff was friendly and helpful. the room was a lovely size and quirky decor was present.
the bathroom was very tight particularly the toilet area. it would have been more nice to have a proper table and chair to work rather than a small coffee table. breakfast could have done with more hot food items.
