My daughter and I enjoyed our stay! No issues getting too and from, checking in, and such. Only issue we had that I believe I did see in another room, was the smell of the bathroom (or so I think)… it does sort of “go away” when staying in the room, but when using the bathroom or entering the room again, it was hard to adjust too. We only stayed one night, but might have looked to change rooms (#2) if we had stayed longer.

I can’t say enough about my stay at 3 John’s Place. My room and the common areas were beautiful, clean, and modern. The location was perfect with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs close by. Far enough away from the major tourists spots to be quiet but just minutes away from the bus and tram stops to take you anywhere in the city. Will absolutely recommend 3 John’s Place to friends and family and will stay here when I come back.

Excellent location with comfortable and clean accommodations. The Grosvenor suite was very spacious, the bathroom was a bit small, but functional. However, It would not have worked for 2 people. A refrigerator and microwave would be nice at least in a common area. Otherwise everything was top notch. Ryan's pub nearby was fantastic!
