Acceptable Stay, Some Minor Issues

helpful staffsafe areaexcellent locationsmall roomlimited spacefew hooks
The location was excellent for visiting various restaurants and pubs. The area felt safe and friendly for walking. The staff were very helpful upon request. Complimentary cheese and wine were offered. I found that delicious.
The room was very small. There were few places to hang clothes. This would have been useful. The bed was only just long enough for my husband, who is six feet tall. It was hard to unpack.

small room, some issues

good locationtiny roomlack of privacy
The location was pretty good, so i was happy about that.
The room was tiny, i mean really tiny. There was barely any space to move around, and definitely not enough room for luggage. i also found that the climate control wasn't great. It was difficult to get the temperature right and i ended up with a dry throat each morning. plus, the lack of privacy in the bathroom was a bit awkward.
