mixed experience with noise issues
central locationstreet noiselack of soundproofing
the location was central, convenient.
My room faced a noisy street with loud music late into the night. Earplugs were provided. these offered little help blocking out the noise. the room lacked soundproofing. I found the noise levels unacceptable.

The location suited me perfectly. It was close to everything i wanted to see. i appreciated the small details, like the water bottles and biscuits in the room. the room was very clean and beautifully presented. i found it easy to walk to the shopping streets, a real bonus for carrying shopping bags.
the curtains were a little too thin, letting in a lot of light in the early morning.

The hotel is literally two minutes from the shambles. I found it easy to access many nearby attractions. it is about fifteen minutes from the train station, should you need to reach it, and it is a very convenient location.

Central and Modern Stay
clean bathroomcomfortable bedcentral location
The bathroom was super clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable. I have already recommended this place to friends. The location was A+ right in the center of town. It was easy to pop back and forth during sightseeing.
The walls felt paper thin. I could very clearly hear what neighbors were doing which was disconcerting.
Dining

The kitchen had lots of amenities and allowed us to make breakfast each day. We enjoyed the morning sun coming through the skylight windows. The kitchen was a good size and very functional.
