Lovely hotel, extremely friendly staff. Room clean and stylish, with a large, well stocked bathroom. Fridge in room was a useful addition and full teas and coffee both in room and downstairs at reception for no additional cost. Perfect location as well, just 10 minutes walk from Waverley. Would definitely recommend staying again! 5 stars
