Super stay!
friendly staffconvenient locationfun music
I found the staff very friendly. They provided early check-in, and I could leave my luggage to explore. The Scottish music and stories were a fun experience. The location is great, only a short walk to the city center. I enjoyed that the place was clean and quiet.
The breakfast selection was a bit limited, mostly toast and cereal.
