convenient and well-located stay

excellent location main attractions

the location was excellent. i could easily walk to all the main attractions and temple bar. the darkey kelly pub next door was a great spot, though it remained quiet enough for a good night's sleep.

the room felt quite basic and wasn't as clean as i hoped. i noticed dust in the corners and the windowsill wasn't properly cleaned. the wifi was also unreliable .

my standard twin room was spacious and quiet. the big, modern shower had powerful water flow. there was a fan for warmer nights and an iron with an ironing board available in the room.

Dining

Breakfast offered a good mix of hot food and continental choices catering to different dietary needs. there was plenty available. This included hot food such as eggs, sausages, and beans, along with croissants.

a decent stay

convenient location helpful staff in-room coffee maker small room hallway light lint sheets

the location proved useful. it allowed simple access to many destinations. the room included an in-room coffee maker and a kettle. the staff were helpful. they provided the things i needed.

the room seemed small. it lacked space for my belongings. the gap beneath the door let light from the hallway into the room. this impacted my sleep. the sheets and pillow covers had lint on them. i found some hairs too.

safe location excellent staff warm room small window

the location was really superb, especially because it was near so many historical sites like christchurch. the staff were so cute and my room felt really safe for me. i am forever thankful for the excellent place i found with a super clean and cozy room.

the window could only open a little bit, and the room was very warm for me. i wish the tv was working, then maybe i wouldn't feel so lonely.
