"1). Superlative location close to rail, tram, & bus connections. 2). Rooms are undeniably small, BUT clean, quiet, and with comfortable beds, fluffy towels. We rested very well! I thought the hall carpet looked a bit scruffy. 3). We didn't sample other amenities, but tea & coffee are at reception and are good. 4) We did wonder what the plan was for exit in the event of fire. This should be clearly notified IMHO"
