Great Spot, Close to Everything

excellent positionhelpful staffclean placesteep stairs
The location is a strong point, really close to major attractions and public transport. There is a handy shop a short walk away too. The staff are helpful. They even upgraded my room without asking. The place felt pretty clean overall.
The stairs were steep. I had some trouble with my luggage, especially going up to the higher floors. Helping with luggage will be good.

The double room had basic furnishings and sufficient space for two people. A simple desk and chair were present. The bathroom included a shower and toilet. There was good natural light from a street-facing window.
