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.
Facilities
9/10

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.
