Close to transport, shopping and eateries. Convenient location and lovely breakfast. Room is acceptable size but a bit challenging to open 2 suitcases at one time. Room has fridge, safe, kettle and great coffee machine. The main down side is the very low tech air conditioner that hardly cools the room. Summer is not fully upon us but the room feels like at least 30C the whole time even though the air conditioning is on full blast.

Hotel was in a great location. Staff and breakfast are excellent. There was a slight issue with the AC. While it was fine during our stay to crack a window, I couldn’t imagine how stuffy our room would have been in the summer.
