the location was central. it was easy to walk to nearby attractions.
The room was quite small. It felt cramped. the heating system made a consistent humming noise throughout the night. it was difficult to sleep well because of this constant sound. I wish i had brought earplugs.

The location was fantastic. it was so convenient to walk to all the nearby shops and attractions. breakfast was great both mornings. I particularly loved the full english option! the room had a fan, important because it was a warm night. i found it thoughtful.
the noise from a nearby fan duct was noticeable. it came on every 20 minutes, made sleep difficult. earplugs may have helped..
