Fantastic Stay!

I found fresh coffee and milk in my room. A great bonus. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The walk in shower was clean and spacious. The bed was comfy, a plus after long walks.
The stairs were a bit steep. The stairs were a challenge carrying luggage.

Modern and Convenient Stay

modern decor easy access good lighting
I would consider staying here again. It is well-located and relatively quiet (I appreciated that). The decor felt right. It was modern, clean, but not overdone. There was a good choice of lighting. I didn't need to get dazzled by bright or full-room lighting. It was also great to have a fridge and easy access to a drying room for ironing.
Location
9/10
The location offered easy access to local shops and dining options. Public transport was very near the hotel. Exploring nearby attractions was very simple.

great location big windows comfortable bed challenging stairs compact flat street noise
The location was great. i loved the big windows for looking at the views. It was a lovely feature. the bed was very comfortable for me. i enjoyed being above that apple pie cafe with a 10% discount too.
the stairs were a bit of a challenge. the flat felt compact, a little smaller than i thought it would be. the noise level from the main road was a bit much at times.
