Great LGBTQ friendly hotel. Bar at night is alive and breakfast is more than filing. Multiple visits for me and a few niggles on this one don't detract from an overall pleasant stay.

No thanks

Below average. Loud and likely drunk customers in the bar below making their way upstairs and passing my room, waking me up. Cleaning girl knocked on my door at 09:15, asking what time I was checking out. I asked when was that. She said, 11:00, but we need you to leave a bit earlier!! Dated decor, tiny shower. No toiletries. Last resort.

Comfy bed

Comfy bed, everything we needed in room. Bit too much unnecessary furniture in room but all good. Needs better extractor fan for the kitchen downstairs as bar area is attached. Otherwise a great stay, fun friendly bar. Would stay again!

Good hotel - middle range pricing

Friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Bedrooms well equipped but bathrooms need a refurb/update - initially I was drinking out of the hot water tap because no markings and it took so long for hot water to come through.
