Excellent Stay Above Lively Pub

clean room homely feel beautiful bathroom thick towel

My room was very clean it had a homely feel. The bathroom was beautiful the towels were thick and fresh. I heard no noise in my room even though there was live music downstairs. I slept very well due to this sound insulation.

I found many steps to reach my room. This could be difficult if you have heavy luggage.
