poor service difficult stairs
The first person i met at the bar lacked warmth. they seemed to have no personality at all. i also found it difficult to navigate the stairs with my luggage. The multiple doors at each landing seemed unnecessary and inconvenient.

great location good selection helpful staff separate room tight stairways cold room
The location was great. It was close to restaurants and shops. I enjoyed the breakfast. There was a good selection. The staff was helpful and friendly too.
The bathroom wasn't en suite. It was a separate room with a number. The stairways were a bit tight to carry my suitcase up. My room was cold. No heating was on.
