The location is excellent. There are many places to eat nearby, as well as the waterfront. The room and bathroom were spacious. It is not air-conditioned, which would have been an issue if the weather were different during our stay. As it was, we arrived on a very windy day that resulted in a continuous thumping noise from our room door. Fortunately, a quick-thinking staff member provided a piece of cardboard that stopped the rattling.

I loved it! The room was gorgeous, spacious and just right for my sister and I on my birthday eve. Breakfast was great and I am pleased. I didn’t realise it was above a pub but that wasn’t a problem. Free parking and 10mins drive to city centre.
The AC in the room wasn’t functional but there was a back up fan that helped somewhat.

I give this place a 10 because I have no complaints. None. It was clean, tidy, everything worked as it should, and it was great. I was born and raised in this neighborhood, and know it well. Lots of shops, cafe, coffee shops etc. Very easy to get around. I have no complaints whatsoever. We had a really nice two weeks here from the USA and would definitely choose it again.

The staff was friendly and this was a very comfortable stay. We were, however, up 4 flights of steep stairs and it was a bit of a schlep to get up and down. Would not recommend for anyone not fit. Not an issue for us though.
