Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the great location of the hotel, as it was within walking distance to popular sites, pubs, and transportation.

Many described the beds as uncomfortable and noted that the breakfast offerings were lacking in quality. Despite the staff's friendliness in several instances, negative experiences overshadowed the positive ones.
