Acceptable but With Minor Issues

clean room comfortable bed small room hot room

The room was very clean. The bed was also quite comfortable, I had no issues sleeping. The location was ideal for getting to the town, the Barbican, and the Hoe.

The check-in process was not smooth at all. The room was also very small and got very hot. I did not see a fan in there.

short walk secure place lovely room small room marked wall confined quarter

The room location was great. It was only a short walk to trendy bars. The room was lovely. The place was secure. It was easy to enter. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was very small, and it was only possible to walk one path around the bed. I would not recommend it for two people unless you are okay in confined quarters. Walls were more marked than I expected.
