The location was perfect for exploring all the main attractions, and having a bar was a nice touch for winding down after a day of sightseeing. The convenience of being able to store our belongings before check-in and after checkout really made our experience even better.

I absolutely loved the location of the hotel, as I could easily stroll to all the major sights and vibrant pubs in the area. The cleanliness was impressive; everything was well-maintained, including the shared bathrooms and facilities. Plus, the kitchen was a major bonus, equipped with everything I needed to prepare meals and store my groceries, which helped me save money during my stay. The staff was also quite friendly and available around the clock, ensuring I felt welcome and comfortable throughout my visit.
