Nice room, comfortable bed and nicely located to shops, restaurants, pubs and transit. Centrally located for sightseeing. Room was rather noisy though and on a Friday night after a football match noise didn’t stop until 5am. All part if the adventure I suppose. Bar was really good and restaurant/room service was great (Excellent Pizza). Overall I enjoyed my stay.
