Central Stay with Pub Atmosphere

central location hearty breakfast
The location provided easy access to city center attractions. The staff members were friendly and accommodating! I appreciated the hearty breakfast served for £11. It offered excellent value. I will certainly consider staying here again for future events.
The room faced the street. I could hear considerable noise late into the night! This made getting restful sleep difficult. I recommend bringing earplugs.

small room occupied toilet
The staff was always available and accommodating to guests.
The room was quite small, approximately 2x3 meters. Noise from other guests and the street was disturbing (I really could hear everything). The toilet was down the corridor and often occupied, inconvenient.
