Overall, this was a good place to stay. Good location for being able to easily move around the city. Plenty of quality eating establishments within a five minute walk. The breakfast was okay, and good enough to start your day. My only complaint was the WiFi was virtually unusable while we were there (we could get around this obstacle by using our phones).

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.
